Task goals
- Foundation: Complete a table of values for a simple linear equation and plot the points to draw a straight-line graph.
- Proficient: Graph a linear equation given in the form y = mx + c directly, correctly identifying and using the gradient and y-intercept.
- Excellence: Interpret, compare and find the intersection point of two or more linear graphs in a real-world context.
