Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-2,3) and (-5,6).

Answer 1

Answer:

-1

Solution,

Let the points be A and B.

A(-2,3)---->(X1,y1)

B(-5,6)---->(x2,y2)

Now,

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ = \frac{6 - 3}{ - 5 - ( - 2)} \\ = \frac{3}{ - 5 + 2} \\ = \frac{3}{ - 3} \\ = - 1$

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..
