Answer: The gradient of the line segment between the points (-5,2) and (4,3) is [tex]\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for gradient of a line segment :
[tex]\text{Gradient}=\dfrac{\text{Difference between y-coordinates}}{\text{Difference between x-coordinates}}[/tex]
Given points of the line segment: (-5,2) and (4,3)
[tex]\text{Gradient} =\dfrac{3-2}{4-(-5)}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Gradient} =\dfrac{1}{4+5)}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Gradient} =\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex]
Therefore , the gradient of the line segment between the points (-5,2) and (4,3) is [tex]\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex].
