Calculate the gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Given:

The graph of line.

To find:

The gradient of the line using rise/run method.

Solution:

We know that the gradient of a line is also known as slope.

Consider the two intercepts, then rise is distance between origin and y-intercept and run is the distance between origin and the x-intercept. But rise must be negative because the value of y decreased from 3 to 0.

Now,

The gradient of the line is .

Therefore, the correct option is C.

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
