What is the gradient of the line 3y-12x+7=0?


\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}

4


\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{How\:to\:Solve:-}}}}

First, add 12x to both sides and subtract 7 from both sides:

3y=12x-7

Now, divide by 3 on both sides:

y=4x-7/3

The gradient, or slope, of the line is 4.

Good luck.
