Question

Phoenix drew a straight line through the points (−2, 2) and (3,0) as shown in the diagram below.



What is the gradient of the line that Phoenix drew?

Worked Solution
Gradient = riserun\dfrac{ \text{rise}}{ \text{run} }
= y2−y1x2−x1\dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
= 2−0−2−3\dfrac{2-0}{-2-3}
