Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-4,1) and (2,4). Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(1)/(2)`

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(-4 , 1)------>( X1, y1)

B(2,4)---------->( x2, y2)

Now,

Gradient:

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

`(4 - 1)/(2 - ( - 4))`

`(3)/(2 + 4)`

`(3)/(6)`

`(1)/(2)`

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
