Question
Use a checking method for this problem: final-answer check: find the gradient of the line through (22, 23) and (24, 27). State the final answer and verify it against the information in the question.
Answer
A valid checked answer is 2. The method is: Gradient means change in y divided by change in x. The change in y is 4. The change in x is 2. Divide the change in y by the change in x. 2 The final line agrees with the canonical answer.
Explanation
calculator check keeps the canonical answer 2 fixed before the model answer is written, so the worked solution and final answer agree.
Common mistake
Quadratic graph features common mistake 1
Writing a final answer without showing the method that justifies it. This can weaken answers for: [Higher only] Deduce quadratic roots algebraically and deduce turning points by completing the square..
Show the method first, then give the final answer in the required form. Apply this directly to Quadratic graph features.
