Given:

Two points are (-6,4) and (-4,10).

To find:

The gradient of the line segment between the given points.

Solution:

Gradient (slope) of the line segment between the given points is


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Two endpoints of the line segment are (-6,4) and (-4,10). So, the gradient is


m=(10-4)/(-4-(-6))


m=(6)/(-4+6)


m=(6)/(2)


m=3

Therefore, the gradient of the line segment between the points (-6,4) and (-4,10) is 3.
