Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(1,0) ; (8,12)`?

Answer 1

gradient`= 12/7`
`y = 12/7x - 12/7`

Explanation:

`"gradient "= "change in y"/"change in x"`

`(12 - 0)/(8 - 1) = 12/7`

`y = mx + c`

You can use a point to work out the equation of the

`y - 0 = 12/7(x - 1)`
`y = 12/7x - 12/7`
