Answer:

m = 1

Explanation:

m is the variable for gradient (just for clarification)

To find the gradient of two given sets of coordinates, we can use the gradient formula:


m=(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )

where x1 and y1 is the first pair of points, and x2 and y2 is the second pair of points.

Now, we can simply sub in these numbers:


m=(9-4)/(4-(-1))


m=(9-4)/(4+1)


m=(5)/(5)


m=1

Hope this helped!! Ask me if there's any part of the working you don't understand :)
