Question

Please help find the gradient :)

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. 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)`

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

Answer 2

gradient m = - 1

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the gradient and c the y- intercept )

y = - x - 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with gradient m = - 1
