Learn how to find the gradient of a line from two points!
Given Points:
Point 1: (x₁, y₁)
Point 2: (x₂, y₂)
Gradient Formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Identify the x and y values for both points:
Point 1:
x₁ = ?, y₁ = ?
Point 2:
x₂ = ?, y₂ = ?
Subtract y₁ from y₂:
y₂ - y₁ = ? - ? = ?
Subtract x₁ from x₂:
x₂ - x₁ = ? - ? = ?
Divide the change in y by the change in x:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = ? / ? = ?
The gradient of the line is:
m = ?
