Question

Find the gradient and y-intercept of this line below. I have answers, I just want to know if I'm right or not ..

Answer 1

Gradient = -8
Y-intercept = 1

The equation would be y=8x + 1

Answer 2

Sorry for x=0 y should be 8 not 1. Please recheck

Answer 3

Almost! Check your slope again... It should be negative, right?

Answer 4

Okay double-check that y-intercept again... Looks a little higher than 1

Answer 5

Yes the slope is negative

Answer 6

im confused ..

Answer 7

the slope is negative so the gradient is -8 isnt it ?

Answer 8

We need the y value when the line crosses the y axis.
So y = -8x + 8 is your equation

Answer 9

Yes I imagine they want a negative gradient, come to think of it.

Answer 10

so the gradient is -8 and y intercept is 8 ?

Answer 11

A goof method of getting equation is
x/ (value of x intercept) + y/ (value of y intercept) = 1
y intercept is the y where the line intersects y axis (Correct in this case 8)
x/(value of x intercept) + y/8 = 1
value of x intercept is where the line intersects x axis
