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

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.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

16/24

Step-by-step explanation:

So you need to get a common denominator before you try to answer the whole question. Turn the denominator into 24. Since you would multiply 8 by 3, multiply the 7 by 3. That would make 21/24. Make the 3 a 24, multiplying it by 8 and doing the same to the 2 making 16/24.
