Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-2,3) and (2,4). Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 4)

m = $\frac{4-3}{2+2}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$
