Question

What is the gradient of the line below?

Answer 1

The line passes through (5,35) point and (0,0)points

so gradient will be 35-0/5-0= 35/5= 7

gradient/slope is 7 good luck

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

`\boxed{\begin{minipage}{4.4cm}\underline{Gradient Formula}\\\\Gradient $(m)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$\\\\where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ \\are two points on the line.\\\end{minipage}}`

To find the gradient of a line, substitute two points on the line into the gradient formula.

From inspection of the given graph, two points on the line are:

• (x₁, y₁) = (0,0)
• (x₂, y₂) = (5, 35)

Substitute the defined points into the gradient formula:

`\implies \textsf{gradient }=(35-0)/(5-0)=(35)/(5)=7`

Therefore, the gradient of the line is 7.
