1. Problem Description

The problem asks to determine the gradient, y-intercept, and the equation of the graph for each of the two given graphs.

2. Solution Steps

Graph 1:
a) The gradient (slope) mm is given by the formula m=riserun=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.
From the graph, we can identify two points on the line. For example, (0,4)(0, 4) and (1,0)(1, 0).
Then, m=0410=41=4m = \frac{0-4}{1-0} = \frac{-4}{1} = -4.
b) The y-intercept is the value of yy when x=0x=0. From the graph, the y-intercept is
4.
c) The equation of a line is given by y=mx+cy = mx + c, where mm is the gradient and cc is the y-intercept.
Substituting m=4m = -4 and c=4c = 4 gives y=4x+4y = -4x + 4.
Graph 2:
a) From the graph, we can identify two points on the line. For example, (0,10)(0, -10) and (1,8)(1, -8).
Then, m=8(10)10=8+101=21=2m = \frac{-8 - (-10)}{1 - 0} = \frac{-8 + 10}{1} = \frac{2}{1} = 2.
b) The y-intercept is the value of yy when x=0x=0. From the graph, the y-intercept is -
1
0.
c) The equation of a line is given by y=mx+cy = mx + c, where mm is the gradient and cc is the y-intercept.
Substituting m=2m = 2 and c=10c = -10 gives y=2x10y = 2x - 10.

3. Final Answer

Graph 1:
a) Gradient: -4
b) y-intercept: 4
c) Equation: y=4x+4y = -4x + 4
Graph 2:
a) Gradient: 2
b) y-intercept: -10
c) Equation: y=2x10y = 2x - 10
