Explanation:
#"calculate the slope using the "color(blue)"gradient formula"#
#•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#
#"let "(x_1,y_1)=(-3,3)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(5,11)#
#m=(11-3)/(5-(-3))=8/8=1#
The slope of the line between
Explanation:
To calculate the slope/gradient of a linear function when we are given two coordinate points on the line, we can use the formula for linear gradient:
Essentially, this formula gives us the ratio between the change in
So, this formula accounts for two sets of coordinates,
Hence:
Now, we substitute these into the formula and simplify:
