Answer:
[tex]- \frac{4}{3} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]gradient \: of \: a \: line \: = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1}}{ x_{2} - x_{1} } [/tex]
Therefore,
gradient of the lines AB
[tex] = \frac{ - 3 - 5}{1 - ( - 5)} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ - 8}{1 + 5} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ - 8}{6} [/tex]
[tex] = - \frac{4}{3} [/tex]
Answer:
-4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
x¹ = -5
x² = 1
y¹ = -5
y² = -3
● gradient formula:
y²-y¹ / x²-x¹
• (-3)-5 / 1-(-5)
= -8 / 6
then simplify (divide by 2)
= -4 / 3
