Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-4,1) and (2,4). Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(-4 , 1)------>( X1, y1)

B(2,4)---------->( x2, y2)

Now,

Gradient:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$\frac{4 - 1}{2 - ( - 4)}$

$\frac{3}{2 + 4}$

$\frac{3}{6}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
