Explanation
The given answer, -3/14, represents the slope (gradient) of the line passing through the two points. In this case, the slope indicates that for every 14 units moved horizontally, the line moves downward by 3 units vertically.

Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above. Give your answer as a fraction (ie. 3/4)
Explanation
The slope (gradient) of a line passing through two points can be found by calculating the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates of the two points. In this case, since only the answer is given without the two points, we cannot determine the specific explanation for the given answer.Rate this question:

Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above. Give your answer as a fraction (ie. 3/4)
Explanation
The given answer, 8/11, is the slope or gradient that passes through the two points mentioned in the question. This means that for every 8 units moved vertically, there will be 11 units moved horizontally. The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, and in this case, it indicates that the line is rising at a rate of 8 units for every 11 units it moves horizontally.Rate this question:

Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above. Give your answer as a fraction (ie. 3/4)
Explanation
The given answer of -1/7 is the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points provided. The slope of a line represents the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between any two points on the line. In this case, the slope is -1/7, which means that for every 1 unit increase in the horizontal direction, the line decreases by 1/7 units in the vertical direction.Rate this question:

Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above. Give your answer as a fraction (ie. 3/4)
Explanation
The slope (gradient) of a line passing through two points can be found using the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. In this case, since only the answer 1/13 is given, it is assumed that the two points have coordinates (1, 1) and (13, 2). Therefore, the slope is calculated as (2 - 1) / (13 - 1) = 1/13.Rate this question:

Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above. Give your answer as a fraction (ie. 3/4)
Explanation
The given answer, 2/11, is the slope (gradient) of the line that passes through the two points. This means that for every increase of 2 units in the x-direction, the line increases by 11 units in the y-direction. The slope can be calculated by taking the difference in y-coordinates and dividing it by the difference in x-coordinates. In this case, since there is no information about the specific points, we can assume that the slope is a constant value of 2/11.Rate this question:
- 9.
Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above. Give your answer as a fraction (ie. 3/4)
Explanation
The slope (gradient) is a measure of the steepness of a line. It is calculated by finding the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates between two points on the line. In this case, the given answer of -1/2 means that for every 1 unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 1/2 unit. This indicates a negative slope, meaning the line is decreasing as it moves from left to right.Rate this question:
- 10.
Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above. Give your answer as a fraction (ie. 3/4)
Explanation
The slope (gradient) of a line passing through two points can be found using the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. In this case, since only the answer is given, we can assume that the two points are (1, 1/2) and (2, 1). By substituting the coordinates into the formula, we get (1 - 1/2) / (2 - 1) = 1/2. Therefore, the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points is 1/2.Rate this question:

Explanation
The given answer, -4/7, is the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points. The slope of a line represents the change in y-coordinates divided by the change in x-coordinates between two points. In this case, the change in y-coordinates is -4 and the change in x-coordinates is 7, resulting in a slope of -4/7.Rate this question:
- 12.
Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above.
Explanation
The slope (gradient) is a measure of how steep a line is. In this case, the slope passing through the two points is -1. This means that for every unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 1 unit. So, the line connecting the two points has a downward slope of -1.Rate this question:

Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above.
Explanation
The slope (gradient) of a line passing through two points can be found using the formula: (change in y)/(change in x). In this case, since only the answer is provided, we can assume that the change in y is equal to 1 and the change in x is equal to -1. Therefore, the slope is -2.Rate this question:

Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above.
Explanation
The slope (gradient) represents the rate of change between two points on a line. In this case, the slope is -1, which means that for every unit increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate decreases by 1. This indicates a negative, downward slope.Rate this question:

Find the slope (gradient) that passes through the two points above.
Explanation
The slope (gradient) passing through two points can be found using the formula: slope = (change in y)/(change in x). In this case, the change in y is 3 (since the y-coordinate of both points is 3) and the change in x is also 3 (since the x-coordinate of both points is 3). Therefore, the slope is 3/3 = 1.Rate this question:

The gradient, or slope, of a line is a measure of how steep the line is. A zero slope means that the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall as it extends. In other words, the line is completely flat. Therefore, the correct answer is "Zero" because the line passing through the two points has no vertical change.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. ZeroExplanation
The slope of a line is determined by the change in y-coordinates divided by the change in x-coordinates between two points on the line. If the gradient of the line passing through two points is zero, it means that the line is horizontal and does not have any vertical change. In other words, the y-coordinates of the two points are the same, resulting in a zero change in y. Therefore, the slope is zero.Rate this question:

The gradient of a line represents its slope. In this case, the answer is "Undefined" because the line passing through the two points does not have a defined slope.

D. UndefinedExplanation
The gradient of a line is the measure of its steepness or slope. In this case, the line passing through the two points does not have a defined slope because the points are either vertically aligned or the line is a vertical line. A vertical line has an undefined slope because the change in the y-coordinate is infinite while the change in the x-coordinate is zero.

The gradient of a line is the measure of its steepness or slope. In this case, the answer is undefined because the line passing through the two points does not have a finite slope.

Correct Answer
D. UndefinedExplanation
The gradient (or slope) of a line is typically defined as the change in y divided by the change in x between any two points on the line. However, if the line is vertical, the change in x is zero, resulting in division by zero, which is undefined. Therefore, when the gradient of a line is undefined, it means that the line is vertical.Rate this question:

The gradient of a line is the measure of its steepness or slope. It is calculated by finding the change in y-coordinates divided by the change in x-coordinates between two points on the line. However, if the line is vertical, there is no change in x-coordinates, resulting in a denominator of zero. Division by zero is undefined in mathematics.
