Answer:
gradient = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the gradient m using the gradient formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{2-0}{0-(-6)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{0+6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
