Answer 1

Do you know the formula to find the gradient of a line?

Answer 2

I'll write it for you anyway: \[\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Answer 3

So can you substitute values from the points you are given to find the slope of the line?

Answer 4

Ohhh right I forgot sorry thank you! Yes I can

Answer 5

all good! just tell me your answer so i can check if it's correct.

Answer 6

11/15 = 6
1 - -2 = 3
6/3 simplified is 2?
