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 option: c

Gradient of line joining points (3, 2), (1, 4)

Gradient = (\frac{\text{Change in Y}}{\text{Change in X}})

= (\frac{y_2 - Y_1}{x_2 - x_1}))

(X1, Y1) = (3, 2)

(X2, Y2) = (1, 4)

Gradient = (\frac{4 − 2}{1 + 3})

= (\frac{2}{-2})

= −1
