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:
This is in the slope-intercept form, which is:
where is the gradient (or slope) of the line, and is the y-intercept.
In your case, the gradient .
Thus, the gradient of the line is 11.
