First we rearrange the equation

y + 4x = 7     to      y = −4x + 7

So we can see that the gradient of this equation is −4.

To solve these similar equations, we must either first eliminate x or y. There are multiple ways of doing this, one being rearranging one of the equations so that it is either "x=.." or "...

Pythagoras' Theorem is a rule for right-angled triangles which is used to solve problems.

Explanation:

For any right-angled triangle, the longest side (oppo...
