Example one: determining the gradient of a straight line. using the general equation form given earlier, the slope of a straight line can easily be determined. 1. find the gradient and the y-intercept of the equation: y=3x + 1 solution: using the general form; y=mx + c, compare the two equations: y=3x + 1.........(1) y=mx + c...............(2) from the above comparism, it's clear that the gradient of the line is 3 and its y-intercept is 1 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sometimes, the question may want us to also determine the x-intercept of some equations. lets take another example: 1. find the x-intercept of y=3x + 1 to find the x-intercept, there's no need using the general form, this is what we're going to do: soln: since we've gotten the slope of the equation in the first example, y=3x + 1 to find the x-intercept, we equate y=0, i.e when y=0, 0=3x + 1 collect like terms -3x=1 divide both sides by -3 -3x/-3=1/-3 x= -1/3 therefore, the x-intercept is -1/3, i.e the point on the graph where the line crosses the x-axis. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Good day fellow student, I am an undergraduate student of OAU who has now being offered medicine...hence leaving school for the meantime. I offer services in intensive tutoring in chemistry, biology, physics and English using JAMB syllabus with a guarantee of 280 and above (ceteris paribus). I stay in Abuja. Home tutoring service is acceptable too provided the cost of transport wld be added. You can reach me via akisamuela@gmail.com. I'm interested in seeing we young people achieving our goals. |

Gradient of a straight line The gradient of a straight line is the rate of change of y compared to x. For example, if the gradient is 3, then for any increase in x, y increases three times as much. Example one: 1. find the gradients of the lines joining: (a) A(-1, 2) and B(3, -2) (b) C(0, -1) and D(4, 1) The formula for calculating gradient/slope is: m=y2-y1/x2-x1 1 Like 1 Share |

Solution: (a) using the form: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) we can point out from the first example, using the illustration above that: x1= -1 y1= 2 x2= 3 y2= -2 now that we've written out our parameters, we start solving: m=y2 -y1/x2- x1 m=(-2) - 2/3 - (-1) m=-4/3 + 1 m=-4/4 m=-1 therefore, the gradient/slope is -1. 1 Like 1 Share |

solution to question 2 we're also going to follow the method used in solving the 1st question, i.e x1= 0 y1= -1 x2= 4 y2=1 now, m=y2 - y1/x2 - x1 m= 1 -(-1)/4 - 0 m=1 + 1/4 m=2/4 m=1/2 1 Like 1 Share |

DETERMINING THE EQUATION OF A LINE WITH A GIVEN GRADIENT(i.e the point-slope form) some questions may come in this form. we may be asked to determine the equation of a line with a given gradient. the formula for calculating this is: y -y1 =m(x - x1) example one: determine the equation of a straight line whose slope/gradient is -1/3 and that passes through the point (-3, 2). solution using the formula where (x1, y1)= (-3, 2) and m(the gradient)=-1/3, y - y1=m(x - x1) then y - 2=-1/3(x + 3) cross multiply: 3(y - 2)= -1(x + 3) open the brackets: 3y - 6= -x -3 bring all the similar variables to one side: x + 3y= -3 + 6 x + 3y= 3 therefore the equation is x + 3y=3 SIMPLE.

DETERMINING THE EQUATION OF A LINE WITH NO GIVEN GRADIENT(i.e the two-point form) sometimes, jamb and other examination bodies can set funny questions. imagine them asking us to determine the equation of a line without giving us the gradient, it sounds ridiculous ryt? don't worry, we've to show them that we are smarter. lol the formula for calculating equations with no gradient given is: y -y1/y2 -y1=x- x1/x2 -x1 example: find the equation of the straight line passing through the points (1, 4) and (-2, 6). solution: using the formula above, where(x1, y1)= (1, 4) and (x2, y2)= (-2, 6), y - 4/6 - 4= x - 1/-2 - 1 y - 4/2= x - 1/-3 cross multiply: -3(y - 4)= 2(x - 1) open the brackets: -3y + 12= 2x - 2 collect all the variables to one side: -3y - 2x= -2 - 12 -3y - 2x= -14 since minus(-) is common to both sides, multiply both sides by (-) -(-3y - 2x)=-(-14) 3y + 2x=14 don't mind jamb, they're naughty, very naughty set of people. NB: if the 1st answer we got(i.e -3y - 2x= -14) is the option u saw, go for it, bt if it's the other one, it's still the same thing oo. 1 Like 1 Share |
