Question

What is the gradient of the straight line joining (3,0) and (2,-2)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

The points are (3,0) and (2,-2)

To find:-

What is the gradient of the straight line joining (3,0) and (2,-2) ?

Solution:-

Given points are :(3,0) and (2,-2)

Let (x1, y1)= (3,0)=>x1=3 and y1=0

Let (x2, y2)=(2,-2)=>x2=2 and y2=-2

We know that

The gradient of the line joining the points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is

=Raise / Run

=Change in Y / Change in X

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

On Substituting these values in the above formula

=> Gradient = (-2-0) / (2-3)

=> Gradient = (-2) / (-1)

Gradient = 2

Answer:-

The gradient of the line joining the given points is 2

Used formula:-

• The gradient of the line joining the points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is (y2-y1 )/ (x2-x1)

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient=y2-y1/x2-x1
