Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-1,3) and (1,-2).
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Sagot :

Answer:

The gradient of the line segment between the two points is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the line segment between two points is also known as the slope,

We  can find this by using the formula; y₂ - y₁ /  x₂ - x₁

The points given to us are;(-1,2) and (-2,3).

This implies x₁ = -1  ,     y₁=2         x₂ =  -2        y₂= 3

We can now proceed to insert our values into the formula;

Gradient = y₂ - y₁ /  x₂ - x₁

               = 3 - 2  /  -2-(-1)

                = 1  /  -2 + 1

                 =1/-1

Gradient = -1

Therefore the gradient of the line segment between the two points is -1
