Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (4,-6) and (-6,-16)

Answer 1

Gradient = 1

Explanation:

`Gradient =(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(4,\:-6\right),\:\\\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-6,\:-16\right)\\\\m=(-16-\left(-6\right))/(-6-4)\\\\m = (16+6)/(-6-4)\\ \\m =(-10)/(-10)\\ \\ m=1`
