Answer:

gradient = 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Rearrange 2y - 6x = - 8 into this form

Add 6x to both sides

2y = 6x - 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = 3x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient m = 3
