Question

Of 10
Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (2,-2) and (0,-6).

Answer 1

The answer is 2

Explanation:

The gradient of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

From the question we have

`m = ( - 6 - - 2)/(0 - 2) = ( - 6 + 2)/( - 2) = ( - 4)/( - 2) = 2 \\`

We have the final answer as

2
