gradient of L = -7/4
Explanation:
[tex]\sf gradient = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Insert the following values.
[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{2-(-5)}{1-5}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{7}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow \sf -\dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]
Use the slope formula:-
(the slope is the same as the gradient)
[tex]\sf{\displaystyle\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} }[/tex]
[tex]\sf{\displaystyle\frac{2-(-5)}{1-5}}[/tex]
[tex]\sf{\displaystyle\frac{2+5}{-4} }=\frac{7}{-4} ={\boxed{-\frac{7}{4} }}\leftarrow\sf{slope~of~line~L}}}[/tex]
