Question

How do you solve this question?

you need to find the gradient of the straight line

Answer 1

slope =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (10, 8) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(8-3)/(10-0)` =
`(5)/(10)` =
`(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

`m=(1)/(2)`

• Slope Formula:
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point (0, 3)

Point (10, 8)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `m=(8-3)/(10-0)`
2. Subtract:
   `m=(5)/(10)`
3. Simplify:
   `m=(1)/(2)`
