Help me with this question please‼️‼️

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2  (choice C)

Explanation:

The gradient is the same as the slope

m = slope

m = rise/run

m = (change in y)/(change in x)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (6-1)/(6 - (-4))

m = (6-1)/(6+4)

m = 5/10

m = 1/2

In decimal form, this becomes 0.5

A slope of 1/2 means we move up 1 and to the right 2 units each time to generate points along the diagonal line.

A positive slope goes uphill as we move to the right (due to the positive rise value).

Answer 2

Answer:

One way to find the gradient is using the expression :

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

So $m = \frac{6 - 1}{6- (-4)} =\frac{5}{10} =\frac{1}{2}$
