Question

Find the gradient of a line passing through each of the following pair of points (0,-5) and (6,3)​

Answer 1

The gradient is another term for slope. Where slope, m, equals (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

(0,-5) => (x1,y1)
(6,3) => (x2,y2)

Now plug into the formula,

m=(3-(-5))/(6-0) => (3+5)/(6-0) => 8/6 => 4/3


Thus, the gradient (slope) of the line passing through the two given points is, m=4/3
