tricky because of the different scale on the axes

anonymous · Answer

looks like the line goes to the right 1, down 8, making the gradient $-8$

shelld93 · Answer

oh i never noticed that.

anonymous · Answer

gotta look closely at the numbering on the hash marks
on the y axis it cuts at $8$ and on the x axis at 1, half way to 2

shelld93 · Answer

yeah does that affect the gradient though ? Cause I thought it was 8 until I realized the line was sloping down.

anonymous · Answer

it is going down so $-8$ not $8$

okay what about the y intercept ? and i don't understand where the triangle is meant to go :/ Im really confused by all this :/
