Answer:

gradient = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the gradient (slope ) m using the gradient formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 7 )

m = \frac{-7-(-3)}{4-2} = \frac{-7+3}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = - 2

To find the gradient of a line you use this equation: Rise / Run

I am assuming this is a graph where both the x and y-axis increase in value by one.

So first of all, you should draw out this graph.

Second, draw a point at each of the given coordinates.

Now, join these points by drawing a right angle triangle. Put simply, draw a line from the point (4, -7) down until it is on the same level as the point (2, -3), then draw a line across.

Finally, measure the length of both these sides and use them in the equation above.

Let's assume the rise (vertical line) and the run (horizontal line) are 5 and 8 respectively. We can do 5/8 to get a gradient which is 0.625.

Answer:

128.605 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the areas of the top triangle, and the bottom triangle and add them together.

The top triangle consists of 2 smaller triangles.  Look at the larger one, the height is 4.93 and the base is 17.  The area is...

A = (1/2)(17)(4.93)

   A = 41.905 m²

The bottom triangle consists of 2 smaller triangles.  Look at the larger one, the height is 10.2 and the base is 17.   The area is...

A = (1/2)(17)(10.2)

  A = 86.7 m²

The total area is 41.905 m² + 86.7 m² = 128.605 m²
