gradient $= \frac{12}{7}$ $= 12/7$
$y = \frac{12}{7} x - \frac{12}{7}$ $y = 12/7x - 12/7$

$gradient = \frac{change in y}{change in x}$ $"gradient "= "change in y"/"change in x"$

$\frac{12 - 0}{8 - 1} = \frac{12}{7}$ $(12 - 0)/(8 - 1) = 12/7$

$y = m x + c$ $y = mx + c$

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

$y - 0 = \frac{12}{7} (x - 1)$ $y - 0 = 12/7(x - 1)$
$y = \frac{12}{7} x - \frac{12}{7}$ $y = 12/7x - 12/7$

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