The calculated gradient of the line on the graph is 7
How to calculate the gradient of the line on the graph
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
The graph
Use the concept of gradientof line defined as:
gradient = Δy/Δx
If a line is passing through (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) then the gradient is
gradient = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
The line shown in the graph passing through the points,
(0, 0) and (5, 35)
So, we have
(x₁ , y₁) = (0, 0)
(x₂, y₂) = (5, 35)
This means that
Gradient = (35 - 0)/(5 - 0)
Evaluate
Gradient = 7
Hence, the gradient of the line on the graph is 7
