Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (0,2) and (2,-8).

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = - 5

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 ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 8)

m = $\frac{-8-2}{2-0}$ = $\frac{-10}{2}$ = - 5
