Question

Find the gradient of the line that passes through (3, 7) and (1, 10).

Answer 1

-1.5

Explanation:

The gradient of a line can be found using the formula:

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

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line.

So for the line that passes through (3, 7) and (1, 10), the gradient can be found as:

gradient = (10 - 7) / (1 - 3)

gradient = 3 / -2

gradient = -1.5

So the gradient of the line that passes through (3, 7) and (1, 10) is -1.5.
