slope
= 1/3 =13
Explanation:
y = mx + c , is the equation of a straight line , where m ,
represents the gradient (slope ) and c , the y-intercept.
By rearranging the given equation into this form then
m and c may be extracted.
hence: 42y = 14x -62 and
y = 14/42 x - 62/42 y=1442x−6242 so
y = 1/3 x - 31/21 y=13x−3121 By comparison of the 2 equations
m = 1/3 , c = -31/21 m=13,c=−3121
