Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (7,2) and (10,-5).

Give your answer in its simplest form.​

Answer 1

-7/3

Explanation:

Give your answer in its simplest form.​

Gradient is also known as slope and it is expressed as;

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

Given the coordinate point (7,2) and (10,-5).

Slope = -5-2/10-7

Slope = -7/3

Hence the gradient of the line segment between the points is -7/3
