Generally gradient = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-x1)
from the above
y2= b
y1=0
x2=0
x1=a
so gradient= (b-0)/(0-a) = b/-a =-b/a

Answer: $\boxed{\dfrac{2}{5}}$

The price of a flight was increased by 3% to £650. What was the price before the increase?

Masja [62]

The answer is 630.5. What you’d need to do to solve the problem is multiply 3% (0.03) by 650 and you’d end up getting 19.5. Subtract the number you got (19.5) from 650, and you’ll end up with your answer.
