The equation of line L is 3x - 8y + 20 = 0.
Find the gradient of line L.

The slope or gradient of the line L will be: m = 3/8

Step-by-step explanation

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

where m is the slope or gradient and b is the y-intercept

Given the equation of the line

Let us solve for 'y' to write the equation in the slope-intercept form

Add -3x to both sides

simplify

subtract 20 from both sides

simplify

Divide both sides by -8.

Thus, comparing with the slope-intercept form

Thus, the slope or gradient of the line L will be: m = 3/8
