To find the gradient of a line you use this equation: Rise / Run
I am assuming this is a graph where both the x and y-axis increase in value by one.
So first of all, you should draw out this graph.
Second, draw a point at each of the given coordinates.
Now, join these points by drawing a right angle triangle. Put simply, draw a line from the point (4, -7) down until it is on the same level as the point (2, -3), then draw a line across.
Finally, measure the length of both these sides and use them in the equation above.
Let's assume the rise (vertical line) and the run (horizontal line) are 5 and 8 respectively. We can do 5/8 to get a gradient which is 0.625.
Answer:
5/4 cups fill each bottle
Step-by-step explanation:
5 5/8=45/8
4 1/2=9/2
Step by Step:
------------------
(45/8)/(9/2)
(45/8)(2/9)
(45/4)(1/9)
45/36
5/4
Two ratios that are equal to 7:6 are 14:12 and 21:18, as they are the same, but 7 and 6 are multiplied by the same number (2 in the first, and 3 in the second.)
According to my calculations it should be 77
Slope of the line =
.
y-intercept of the line = -7.
Solution:
General form of equation of a line:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.
Equation of a line:

To compare this with general equation.


Slope of the line =
.
y-intercept of the line = -7.
