Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-8,6) and (3,7). Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{ y _1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2} }$

Gradient of line segment

$= \frac{7 - 6}{3 - ( - 8)}$

$= \frac{1}{3 + 8}$

$= \frac{1}{11}$
