Question

A is the point with coordinates (1,4) b is the point with coordinates (7,22) Find the gradient AB

Answer 1

The gradient AB is 3

Explanation:

Here. we want to find the gradient AB

This is the same as finding the slope of the line that connects the two points

mathematically. we have this as;

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

(x1,y1) = (1,4)

(x2,y2) = (7,22)

m = (22-4)/(7-1) = 18/6 = 3
