Well I guess and I hope it helped
Gradient is synonymous to slope.
y = 6x + 5 is an example of a slope-intercept form of a straight-line equationl.
The slope-intercept equation is like this:
y = mx + b
where : m = slope ; b = "y-intercept"
y = 6x + 5
6 is the slope
5 is the y-intercept.
Since slope and gradient are synonymous, 6 is the gradient of the above equation.
Consider what the slope of this line would be. Slope is rise/run; this line rises 7 (5 - (-2)) and runs 0 (0 - 0). This means that the slope would be 7/0. Dividing by zero is not possible, therefore, it cannot be written in slope-intercept form.
Answer:
126
Step-by-step explanation:
the number of cargo cars is represented by the 35 part of the ratio , then
105 ÷ 35 = 3 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then
passenger cars = 7 × 3 = 21
total cars = 105 + 21 = 126
