Question

State the gradient of the equation 3x - 5y = 9.*

Answer 1

3/5

Explanation:

change equation into slope-intercept form to identify the slope easily:

y = mx+b where 'm' is slope

3x-5y = 9

subtract 3x from each side to get:

-5y = -3x + 9

divide each side by -5 to get:

y = 3/5x - 9/5

slope is 3/5
