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.

Katarina [22]

1) in one minute for first  wiil be 1/20

the other 1/30, it means that  A paint in one minute  1/20 and B 1/30 then   A+B in one minute 1/20 + 1/30 = 3+2/60 = 5 / 60,  5/60 = 1/12

if in one min they make 1/12 then  in 12  min they  paint all the wall
