Answer is 9/5
You can count the rise/run on the graph or use slope formula (y2-y1) over (x2 -x1)

5-(-4) over 3-(-2) = 9/5

Answer:

Gradient of the line is choice D.9/5

Explanation:

Hello!

Slope between two points:slope=(y-y)/(x-x)

  • (x.y)=(-2,-4)
  • (x.y)=(3,5)

slope(m)=


(5 - ( - 4))/(3 - ( - 2)) \\ refine \: (m )= (9)/(5)
