Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-6,2) and (4,3). Give your answer in its simplest form.​

Gradient = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔX = 4 – -6 = 10

ΔY = 3 – 2 = 1

Gradient = m = ΔY/ ΔX = 1/10 = 0.1  

The gradient of a line segment is a measure of how steep the line is. A line with a large gradient will be steep; a line with a small gradient will be relatively shallow; and a line with zero gradient will be horizontal.

-2 is the right
