Math Problem Statement

The equation of a line is y = 11x + 8. What is the gradient of the line?

Solution

The equation of the line is given as:

y=11x+8y = 11x + 8

This is in the slope-intercept form, which is:

y=mx+cy = mx + c

where mm is the gradient (or slope) of the line, and cc is the y-intercept.

In your case, the gradient m=11m = 11.

Thus, the gradient of the line is 11.
