Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-2,3) and (2,4). Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

slope =
`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 4)

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