Questions and Answers

What does the gradient of a line represent?

  • The slope or steepness of the line (correct)
  • The distance between two points on the line
  • The midpoint between two points on the line
  • The position of the line on the graph

Which formula correctly represents the gradient between two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂)?

  • m = (y₁ + y₂) / (x₁ + x₂)
  • m = (y₁ - y₂) / (x₂ - x₁)
  • m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₁ - x₂)
  • m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) (correct)

What is the general form of the equation of a straight line?

  • y - y₁ = k (x - x₂)
  • y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
  • y = mx + c (correct)
  • y = mx + k
