1. Write down the gradient of the line joining the points (2m, n) and (3, -4).
2.Find the value of n if the line is parallel to the X-axis
3.Find the value of m if the line is parallel to the Y-axis.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 . ( n + 4 ) / ( 2m - 3 )

The gradient (slope) is

= ( change in y direction ) / ( change in x direction )

= ( n - (-4) ) / ( 2m - 3 )

= ( n + 4 ) / ( 2m - 3 )

2.

A line parallel to the x-axis will always have the equation of y = #. This is because all along that line, every value of x, y will still equal the same number. For example, a line parallel to the x-axis that crosses the y-axis at 2, will be y = 2. If it is in the negative range, it's the same concept, for example if it crossed the y-axis at -4, the equation would be y = -4.
