Use two points on a line graph to calculate the gradient and $y$-intercept and hence the equation of the straight line running through both points.

The answer box for the third part plots the function which allows the student to check their answer against the graph before submitting.

This particular example has a positive gradient.

Method of undermined coefficients:

Solve: $\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+2a\frac{dy}{dx}+a^2y=0,\;y(0)=c$ and $y(1)=d$.  (Equal roots example). Includes an interactive plot.

An applied example of the use of two points on a graph to develop a straight line function, then use the t estimate and predict. MCQ's are also used to develop student understanding of the uses of gradient and intercepts as well as the limitations of prediction.

The data is fitted by linear and quadratic regression.  First, find a linear regression equation for the $n$ data points, $20 \le n \le 35$.

They then are shown that the quadratic regression is often a better fit as measured by SSE. Also users can experiment with fitting polynomials of higher degree.
