Question

notation check: find the gradient of the line through (21, 22) and (25, 26). Show your working one step at a time.

Answer

The final answer is 1. Gradient means change in y divided by change in x. The change in y is 4. The change in x is 4. Divide the change in y by the change in x. 1

Explanation

exam warm-up keeps the canonical answer 1 fixed before the model answer is written, so the worked solution and final answer agree.

Common mistake

Simultaneous equations common mistake 1

Writing a final answer without showing the method that justifies it. This can weaken answers for: [Higher only] Solve simultaneous equations involving one linear and one quadratic equation..

Show the method first, then give the final answer in the required form. Apply this directly to Simultaneous equations.
