The line 3x + 2y = 8 cuts the y-axis at p(0,k) find
(a) Gradient of the line.
(b) The value of k

Answers

John
(a) 3x + 2y = 8

gradient intercept form of

the equation

2y = -3x + 8;

y = $\frac{-3}{2}x+\frac{8}{2}$

y = $\frac{-3}{2}x$ + 4;

Gradient is $\frac{-3}{2}$

(b) (0,k) is y - intercept

at x = 0

in 3x + 2y = 8

2y = 8;

y = 4;

k = 4
