Gradient Calculation Quiz

What is the formula used to calculate the gradient between two points when only coordinates are given?

• Sum of x and y values

• Change in y divided by change in x

• Difference between x and y values

• Change in x divided by change in y

In the example with points (11, 7) and (8, -2), which point is chosen as the second coordinate?

• (4, -7)

• (0, 0)

• (8, -2)

• (11, 7)

What is the gradient between the points (11, 7) and (8, -2)?

• 2

• 0.5

• 3

• 1.5

When using a graph to find the gradient, what is the first step?

• Calculate the slope directly

• Pick any two points on the line

• Draw a perpendicular line

• Find the midpoint of the line

What is the gradient of the line between points (0, -1) and (4, -7)?
