Verified answer

If A(2,-3), B(-4,4), find the gradient of AB.

Gradient (Rise/Run)

= m

= (y 2 – y 1) / (x 2 – x 1) where (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2) are two points on a linear or straight-line graph.

= (4 - -3) / (-4 - 2)

= 7/-6

Answer:

C) −7/6

It is answer C) -7/6

-

m = ( 4 + 3 ) / (-4 - 2) = - 7/6

Option C

slope = gradient = rise/run (change is the y coordinate divided by change in the x coordinate)

so slope = (4 - (-3))/ (-4 -2) = 7/(-6)= -7/6

m = (4 - (-3))/(-4 - 2) = (4 + 3)/(-6) = -7/6

C) => Answer
