Question

_A straight line L has equation 3y=5x-6. Find the gradient of L

Answer 1

gradient =
`(5)/(3)`

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

3y = 5x - 6 ( divide through by 3 )

y =
`(5)/(3)` x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient =
`(5)/(3)`
