Answer 1

\[\frac{ x }{ 2 } + \frac{ y }{ 3 } - 2 = 0 \]

Answer 2

find the y intercept and gradient

Answer 3

Any ideas?

Answer 4

to find y-intercept put x = 0 and solve for y

0/2 + y/3 - 2 = 0
0+ y/3 - 2 = 0

y/3 = 2
y = 6 ----> y-intercept

Answer 5

@rizwan_uet let the student ask questions please :-)

Answer 6

now write x/2 + y/3 - 2 = 0 interms of x first and compare it with y = mx + b

Answer 7

@rizwan_uet don't we have to re-arrange the equation in to \[y= mx + c \], before finding anything ?

Answer 8

yes you have to rearrange it to y = mx+ b form

Answer 9

Good question @RANE

Answer 10

and the value associated with x will be the gradient

Answer 11

is the value of m = 3?

Answer 12

how you got this??

Answer 13

\[3x + 2y - 12 = 0,
-2y = 3x-12 \]

Answer 14

now divide both sides by -2 to get the form y = mx+b

Answer 15

Good job, but you're not finished...

Answer 16

so is it \[ m = \frac{ 3 }{ -2 }\]

Answer 17

exactly its -3/2

Answer 18

thank you
