Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (4,3) and (5,7).

Answer 1

Answer:

gradient = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the gradient m use the gradient formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 7)

m = $\frac{7-3}{5-4}$ = $\frac{4}{1}$ = 4
