Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Ler: (x1, y1) = (0, 3)
(x2, y2) = (\(\frac{5}{4}, \frac{11}{2}\))
Using gradient, m = \(\frac{y_2 - y_2}{x_2 - x_1}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{11}{2} - 3}{\frac{5}{4} - 0}\)
= \(\frac{11 - 6}{2} + \frac{5}{4}\)
= \(\frac{5}{} + \frac{5}{4}\)
= \(\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{5}\)
= 2
Ler: (x1, y1) = (0, 3)
(x2, y2) = (\(\frac{5}{4}, \frac{11}{2}\))
Using gradient, m = \(\frac{y_2 - y_2}{x_2 - x_1}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{11}{2} - 3}{\frac{5}{4} - 0}\)
= \(\frac{11 - 6}{2} + \frac{5}{4}\)
= \(\frac{5}{} + \frac{5}{4}\)
= \(\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{5}\)
= 2
