Question

7. Work out the gradient of the line y + 7x = 8

Is anyone able to help much appreciated

Answer 1

-7

Explanation:

equation=y+7x=8

y=-7x+8

the gradient is always the x co-efficient

therefore the gradient is -7

Answer 2

`gradient \: = - 7`

Explanation:

`y + 7x = 8 \\ y = - 7x + 8`

According to,

`y = mx + c \\`

m = gradient

So,

`y = - 7x + 8`

`m = - 7`
