Question

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (1,2) and (2,3)

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

the gradient = difference between coordinate y/difference between coordinate x

(3-2)/(2-1)=1

Answer 2

gradient = 1

Explanation:

Calculate the gradient using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 3)

m =
`(3-2)/(2-1)` = 1
