Step-by-step explanation:

mark as brilliant

Answer 2

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD I :

Equation of the given line : 3x + (-1)y + (-4) = 0

We know that , for a line ax + by + c = 0 , the slope is given by - (a / b) .

Therefore , gradient of the line = - ( 3 / -1) = 3

METHOD II :

Equation of the given line : y = 3x + (-4)

We know that , if 'm' is the slope and 'c' is the y-intercept of a line , then the line's equation is

y = mx + c

Therefore , by comparing we get :—

Gradient of the line = 3
