Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the slope of a line is its gradient, we use the formula for finding gradient.

Gradient

$= \frac{change \: in \: y}{change \: in \: x } \\ \ = \frac{7 - - 5}{ - 2 - 2 } \\ = 12$

hope it helps.

How do the lengths of line segments define the golden ratio?

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\frac{a+b}{a}=\frac{a}{b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The golden ratio is a special number favored by the Greeks. Its ratio roughly equals 1.618. The ratio is formed by taking a line segment and dividing it into two parts labeled a and b. The golden ratio is formed when this proportion is true $\frac{a+b}{a}=\frac{a}{b}$ .

When you add a and b then divide by a, it will be the same as a divided by b. This will hold true only for specific lengths of a and b. This means you must divide the line segment in such a way that a and b meet this requirement.

Example:

If the line segment is 50 cm long. Split the segment into parts a and b where a = 30.9 and b = 19.1. Substitute the values into the proportion $\frac{a+b}{a}=\frac{a}{b}$ .

$\frac{30.9+19.1}{30.9}=\frac{30.9}{19.1}$
