Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-2,3) and (-5,6).

Answer 1

-1

Solution,

Let the points be A and B.

A(-2,3)---->(X1,y1)

B(-5,6)---->(x2,y2)

Now,

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) \\ = (6 - 3)/( - 5 - ( - 2)) \\ = (3)/( - 5 + 2) \\ = (3)/( - 3) \\ = - 1`

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..
