Question

Find the gradients of line a and b

Answer 1

Gradient of A: 2

Gradient of B: -1

Explanation:

Gradient = change in y/change in x

✔️Gradient of A using two points on line A, (2, 5) and (0, 1):

Gradient = (1 - 5)/(0 - 2) = -4/-2

Simplify

Gradient of A = 2

✔️Gradient of B using two points on line B, (0, 5) and (5, 0):

Gradient = (0 - 5)/(5 - 0) = -5/5

Simplify

Gradient of B = -1
