Determine the gradient and the co-ordinates of the x and y intercept of line whose equation is 2y + 3x = 1

The x - intercept is 1/3

The y - intercept is 1/2

The gradient is -3/2

Explanation:

To find the x - intercept of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we find the value of x when y = 0. So,

2y + 3x = 1

2(0) + 3x = 1

0 + 3x = 1

3x = 1

x = 1/3

So, the x - intercept is 1/3

To find the y - intercept of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we find the value of y when x = 0. So,

2y + 3x = 1

2y + 3(0) = 1

2y + 0 = 1

2y = 1

y = 1/2

So, the y - intercept is 1/2

To find the gradient of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we re-write it in gradient intercept form by making y subject of the formula.

So, 2y + 3x = 1

2y = -3x + 1

y = -3x/2 + 1/2

The coefficient of x which equals -3/2 is the gradient.

The gradient is -3/2

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.
