Answer :

Answer:

gradient: 1.5

Explanation:

Take two points from the graph: (2, 0), (0, -3)

[tex]\sf gradient : \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} = \dfrac{\triangle y}{\triangle x} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points[/tex]

So here given:

  • (x₁ , y₁) = (2, 0)
  • (x₂ , y₂) = (0, -3)

Inserting values

[tex]\rightarrow \sf gradient : \dfrac{-3-0}{0-2} = \dfrac{-3}{-2} = 1.5[/tex]
