Calculate the gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Mathematics

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.

Slope=\dfrac{Rise}{Run}

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.

Rise=-3

Run=2

Now,

Slope=\dfrac{Rise}{Run}

Slope=\dfrac{-3}{2}

The gradient of the line is -\dfrac{3}{2}.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Determine the intercepts of the line.<br> y-6= 4( + 5)<br> y-intercept:<br> z-intercept
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

  1. (0, 26)
  2. (-6.5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the equation into slope-intercept form [ y = mx + b ].

y - 6 = 4(x + 5)

y - 6 = 4x + 20

y = 4x + 26

We know that b = y-intercept for the y-intercept is 26.

Substitute 0 for y to find the x intercept.

0 = 4x + 26

-26 = 4x

-6.5 = x

Best of Luck!
