Question

Find the gradient of line passing through the following pairs of points : (i) (0,−2),(3,4)

Answer 1

gradient = 2

Explanation:

calculate the gradient m using the gradient formula

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

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4 )

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
`(4-(-2))/(3-0)` =
`(4+2)/(3)` =
`(6)/(3)` = 2
