The gradient of the graph is 2.
Solution:
Let the points on the graph are (-2, 0) and (0, 4).
Here [tex]x_1=-2, y_1=0, x_2=0, y_2=4[/tex].
Gradient of the graph:
[tex]$\text{Gradient }= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]$= \frac{4-0}{0-(-2)}[/tex]
[tex]$= \frac{4-0}{0+2}[/tex]
[tex]$= \frac{4}{2}[/tex]
Cancel the common terms, we get
Gradient = 2
The gradient of the graph is 2.
