Chapter route
This chapter page turns the high-level subject view into an ordered learning slice, with direct links from curriculum items into topic and skill detail.
Each curriculum item can now route into topic and skill-level detail.
Recognise equations that can be written in the form ax + by + c = 0.
Substitute x and y values to verify whether they satisfy an equation.
Find multiple ordered pairs that satisfy a given equation.
Choose x-values and compute matching y-values systematically.
Plot solution pairs and join them to form a straight line.
Connect graph position with whether an ordered pair satisfies the equation.
Rearrange equations to identify slope and y-intercept.
Extract the rate of change and starting value from a linear equation.
Use intercept and slope movement to draw a line efficiently.
Represent real contexts where only whole-number or non-negative solutions make sense.
Identify two simultaneous linear relationships involving the same variables.
Use the intersection point of two lines as the common solution.
Classify pairs by intersecting, parallel or coincident lines.
Connect graph positions with one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions.
Substitute one expression into another equation to find both variables.
Add or subtract equations after matching coefficients to eliminate a variable.
Select an efficient method based on equation structure.
Identify variables and build equations from real situations.
Use simultaneous equations to answer practical problems and interpret the result.
Verify units, constraints and reasonableness of the solution.
Translate the same relationship across table, graph and equation formats.
