Key concepts
Why it matters
This objective helps connect Mathematical requirements to exam-style questions, flashcards, and revision notes for Mathematical requirements and assessment objectives.
Quick student answer
Which of the following graphs best represents a direct proportionality between two variables?
Direct answer
A straight line through the origin
Key terms
- Independent Variable: The variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable.
- Dependent Variable: The variable that is measured and affected in the experiment.
Common trap
Incorrectly interpreting the gradient: Remember that the gradient indicates the rate of change, while the y-intercept is the value of y when x is zero.
