Question

Find the gradient of the line Joining the points p(-2,6) and Q(3,-2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$- \frac{8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }$

(x₁, y₁) is the 1st coordinate while (x₂, y₂) is the 2nd coordinate.

Gradient of the line

$= \frac{6 - ( - 2)}{ - 2 - 3}$

$= \frac{6 + 2}{ - 5}$

$= - \frac{8}{5}$
