Question

Determine the gradient of the line joining G (4,-2) and H (7,4).​

Answer 1

gradient = 2

Explanation:

Calculate the gradient (slope) using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (G (4, - 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = H (7, 4 )

m =
`(4-(-2))/(7-4)` =
`(4+2)/(3)` =
`(6)/(3)` = 2
