Given:
The graph of line.
To find:
The gradient of the line using rise/run method.
Solution:
We know that the gradient of a line is also known as slope.
Consider the two intercepts, then rise is distance between origin and y-intercept and run is the distance between origin and the x-intercept. But rise must be negative because the value of y decreased from 3 to 0.
Now,
The gradient of the line is .
Therefore, the correct option is C.
