Answer 2

Gradient is another word for "slope".

• Gradient indicates the steepness of the line.
• The higher the gradient, the steeper the line is.
• A positive gradient means it slopes upwards and a negative gradient means it slots downwards.

.

Recall:

$\text{Gradient} = \dfrac{Y_2 - Y_1}{X_2 - X_1}$

Find the gradient of point (a, 0) and (0, b):

$\text{Gradient} = \dfrac{Y_2 - Y_1}{X_2 - X_1}$

$\text{Gradient} = \dfrac{b - 0}{0 - a}$

$\text{Gradient} = - \dfrac{b}{a}$

Answer: the gradient is -b/a
