please help and show me how to do this step by step!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
M= y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 <<<gradient formula
= 2-1 / 5-4
= 1 / 1
= 1
(4,1)
y2-y1 = m(x2-x1)<<<find an equation formula
y -1 = 1(x-4)
y-1 = x - 4
y = x - 4 +1
y = x-3 <<<final equation

\[M = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\]
That is the gradient/slope formula to find the gradient of the two points given.
(4,1) and (5,2)
(x1,y1) (x2,y2)
so plug those in the formula, show me how you do it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2-1
5-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no wait. ur 5-2 is wrong it's 5-4

look carefully again.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh so its 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nono 5-4 = 1 not 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4-4 = 0 <<this would be equal to 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh..
