The answer is -5 for the gradient of the blue line.

The gradient of the blue line given in the graph is 4 and this can be determined by using the slope intercept form and point slope form of the line.

Given :

The graph of the line is given.

The following steps can be used to determine the equation of a line given in the graph:

Step 1 - First determine the points through which the line passes through that is:

Points - (4,0) and (6,8)

Step 2 - Use the point-slope form of the line which is given by the equation:

[tex]\dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are the point on the line.

Step 3 - Substitute the value of the points in the above equation.

[tex]\dfrac{y-0}{x-4}=\dfrac{8-0}{6-4}[/tex]

Cross multiply in the above equation.

2y = 8(x - 4)

y = 4x - 16

Step 4 - Now, compare the above equation with slope-intercept form.

m = 4
