Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y = (9/7)x + 8`?

Answer 1

`slope= Gradient = (9/7)`
y-intercepts = 8
x- intercept = `56/9`

Explanation:

The linear function is given in the form:

`y = mx + c`
where m is the slope/gradient, c is the y intercept.

Hence
`slope= Gradient = (9/7)`
y-intercepts = 8

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0,
y= `9/7`x + 8
0 = `9/7`x + 8
x = `((-8)*7)/9`
x= `56/9`
