Question

Find the gradient of the line
2y - 8x = -2

Answer 1

gradient is 4

Explanation:

gradient is another way of saying slope

slope in the math is often used to show the speed of something

it's the m in y= mx+b

make the equation look like

y = mx + b

2y - 8x = -2

2y = 8x - 2

y= (8x-2)/2

y=4x-1

gradient is the number next to x

answer : gradient is 4

What is the gradient of the line

2y-8x=-2?

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

In order to find the gradient of the line, we first need to write its equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b); right now the equation is in standard form, ax+by=c.

So first we add 8x on both sides:-

2y=-2+8x

or

2y=8x-2

Now we divide by 2 on both sides:-

2y/2=8x/2-2/2

On simplification,

y=4x-1

That's our equation in slope intercept form.

The gradient is the number before x:-

4

Good luck.
