Question

A straight line has equation 4y-5x=2 work out the gradient of this line

Answer 1

Answer:

gradient = $\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope (gradient) and c the y- intercept )

Given

4y - 5x = 2 ( add 5x to both sides )

4y = 5x + 2 ( divide the terms by 4 )

y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x + $\frac{1}{2}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient m = $\frac{5}{4}$
