Question

Determine the gradient of ef if e(-5;-2) and f(2;1)

Answer 1

3/7

Explanation:

Slope = y_2 - y_1/x_2 - x_1

Here

y_2 = 1

y_1 = -2

x_1 = -5

x_2 = 2

m = 1 - (-2)/2 - (-5)

m = 1 + 2/2 + 5

m = 3/2 + 5

m = 3/7

Answer 2

Explanation:

E ( -5 , -2) & F(2 , 1)

Gradient / Slope =
`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

`= (1-[-2])/(2-[-5])\\\\\\=(1+2)/(2+5)\\\\\\=(3)/(7)`
