Question

Write down the gradient of a line parallel to the line drawn below...

Answer 1

`\rm Slope = -1`

Explanation:

Given :-

• A equation of line .
• 
  `\rm y = -x-3`

And we need to find out the gradient of the line. parallel to the given line .The gradient of the line is the " slope " of the line. The given equation is in slope Intercept Form , which is ,

Slope intercept form :-

`\rm\implies y = mx + c`

• Where m is the slope of the line and c is y intercept .

On comparing it to slope Intercept Form , we have ,

`\implies \rm Slope (m) = (-1)`

And the slope of the line , parallel to a line is same as that of the given line. Therefore they will have same gradient.

`\implies \boxed`

Hence the gradient of the line is (-1) .
