Question

WHAT IS THE GRADIENT OF THE BLUE LINE?? NEED HELP URGENTLY

Answer 1

Answer:

gradient = - $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the gradient m using the gradient formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1) ← 2 points on the line

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