Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-3,3) and (4,4).
Give your answer in its simplest form.


Answer:

1/7​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient or slope of a straight line which is found between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:

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

Where y2 = 7

y1 = 3

x2 = 4

x1 = 2

=> m = (7 - 3) / (4 - 2)

m = 4 / 2 = 2

The gradient is 2.
