Question

What is the gradient of the graph shown?

Answer 1

Answer:

gradient = $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the gradient m using the gradient formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{2-0}{0-(-6)}$ = $\frac{2}{0+6}$ = $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$
