Find the equation of the straight line passing through 4,1 with a gradient of 1

y = x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the gradient (slope) of the line is m, then the point-slope form of the appropriate equation  is y - k = m(x - h).  If the gradient is 1, then

                                         y - k =   x - h

Since this line passes through (4, 1), we have

                                          y - 1 = x - 4, or

                                            y = x - 3

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.
