Question

WHAT IS THE GRADIENT OF THE BLUE LINE?? NEED HELP URGENTLY

Answer 1

gradient = -
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Calculate the gradient m using the gradient formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(1-2)/(3-(-1))` =
`(-1)/(3+1)` = -
`(1)/(4)`
