  • A 3/2
  • B 2/1
  • C -1
  • D 3/2
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Gradient of line joining points (3, 2), (1, 4)

Gradient = \(\frac{\text{Change in Y}}{\text{Change in X}}\)

= \(\frac{y_2 - Y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)\)

(X1, Y1) = (3, 2)

(X2, Y2) = (1, 4)

Gradient = \(\frac{4 − 2}{1 + 3}\)

= \(\frac{2}{-2}\)

= −1
