Question

What is the gradient of the graph shown? Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When it's clear, the easiest way to do the problem is to used the x and y  intercepts.

This question is one of the clear one.

The x intercept is 2,0

The y intercept is 0,1

You want the slope.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

y2 = 1

y1 = 0

x2 = 0

x1 = 2

m = (1 - 0)/(0 - 2)

m = 1 / -2

m = -1/2

In this case the slope and gradient have the same value --   - 1/2 or - 0.5
