Completing tables of values
from graphs and formulae
Unit 14.1
• We can show patterns using a:
• list of numbers
• table of values
• formula
• We can also use a graph.
Graph
A graph summarises how one quantity changes if another quantity
that is related to it also changes.

Completing tables of values
from graphs and formulae
Unit 14.1
• A point on a graph shows two
numbers, a number on the
horizontal axis and a number on
the vertical axis.
• The two numbers at a point
form an ordered pair.
• The point shown here is (4; 3),
4 on the horizontal axis, 3 on the
vertical axis.
• The number on the horizontal axis
is always written first.

Using formulae to determine values
of variables using substitution
Unit 14.1
• In formulae, variables represent unknown values.
• Variables are usually letters.
• If you know the value of one unknown, you can find the other.
• Substitute numbers for the variables.
If a = 35b + 10 and b = 3, then
a = 35(3) + 10
a = 105 + 10 = 115
Substitution
Substitution means putting a number in place of a letter in an
equation.

Drawing straight line graphs
Unit 14.2
• To draw a graph, you need to:
• use a given table of values
• work out a table of values from a formula
• draw a system of axes with an appropriate scale for each axis
• write labels for the graph and both axes
• plot the points as ordered pairs from the table of values

The axis of the graph
Unit 14.2
• An axis is a reference line,
which is numbered and
labelled.
• The place where the two axes
cross is called the origin. It is
the point (0; 0).
• Use the horizontal axis, or x-
axis, for your independent
variable.
• The vertical axis (y-axis) shows
the dependent variable. 'axes' is the plural of 'axis'

Plotting points
Unit 14.2
To plot the point representing the
coordinate pair (3; 2):
1. Start at the origin (0; 0).
2. Move along the horizontal axis
until you reach 3.
3. Move upwards until you are in
line with 2 on the vertical axis.
4. Make a mark with your pencil
at that point.

Graphs of direct proportion and
inverse proportion relationships
Unit 14.3
If two quantities are directly
proportional, the graph to
represent the quantities will form
a straight line.
• In this graph, you can calculate
the cost of the trip for any
distance travelled by
multiplying the distance by the
constant of proportionality,
which is ½ (half).
• If you double one variable, the
other will be doubled.

Inverse proportion
Unit 14.3
• If two quantities are in inverse proportion, one quantity increases
while the other decreases in the same proportion.

• The more people are helping to complete a job, the shorter the time it
will take. So the number of people and the time taken to complete the
job can be inversely proportional to each other.

Graph for inverse proportion
Unit 14.3
• A graph of two variables that are inversely proportional to each other,
always has the shape called a hyperbola.
• In theory, a hyperbola can also have negative values for x and y.
