Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (5,-2) and (3,-8).

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the line can be calculated using the $\frac{rise}{run}$ between two points.

$\frac{rise}{run}$ = $\frac{-8-(-2)}{3-5}$

     = $\frac{-8+2}{3-5}$

     = $\frac{-6}{-2}$

     = 3
