Find the gradient of the line joining the points (3, 2) and (1, 4)

A.

3/2

B.

2/1

C.

-1

D.

3/2

Correct Answer: -1

Explanation

Gradient of line joining points (3, 2), (1, 4) Gradient = Change in Y/Change in X = y2 −Y1/ x2 −x1 (X1 , Y1 ) = (3, 2) (X2 , Y2 ) = (1, 4) Gradient = (4−2)/(1+3) = 2/−2 = −1

Gradient of line joining points (3, 2), (1, 4) Gradient = Change in Y/Change in X = y2 −Y1/ x2 −x1 (X1 , Y1 ) = (3, 2) (X2 , Y2 ) = (1, 4) Gradient = (4−2)/(1+3) = 2/−2 = −1
