m = 1/11m=111

Explanation:

To find the gradient (slope) of a line passing through 2 points use the color(blue) " gradient formula " gradient formula

m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) m=y2−y1x2−x1

where (x_1,y_1) " and " (x_2,y_2)" are the coords of the 2 points "(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coords of the 2 points

let (x_1,y_1) = (4,1) " and " (x_2,y_2) = (-7,0)(x1,y1)=(4,1) and (x2,y2)=(−7,0)

substitute these values into the equation for m

rArr m =(0 - 1 )/(-7 -4) = (-1)/(-11) = 1/11 ⇒m=0−1−7−4=−1−11=111
