$s l o p e = G r a d i e n t = (\frac{9}{7})$ $slope= Gradient = (9/7)$
y-intercepts = 8
x- intercept = $\frac{56}{9}$ $56/9$

Explanation:

The linear function is given in the form:

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

Hence
$s l o p e = G r a d i e n t = (\frac{9}{7})$ $slope= Gradient = (9/7)$
y-intercepts = 8

To find the x-intercept, let y = 0,
y= $\frac{9}{7}$ $9/7$ x + 8
0 = $\frac{9}{7}$ $9/7$ x + 8
x = $\frac{(- 8) \cdot 7}{9}$ $((-8)*7)/9$
x= $\frac{56}{9}$ $56/9$
