Assessment: JAMB UTME - Mathematics - 2012 Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

The gradient of the straight line joining the points P(5, -7) and Q(-2, -3) is

\frac{1}{2}

\frac{2}{5}

- \frac{4}{7}

- \frac{2}{3}

Answer Details

PQ = $\frac{y_{1} - y_{0}}{x_{1} - x_{0}}$ = $\frac{- 3 - (- 7)}{- 2 - 5}$ = $\frac{- 3 + 7}{- 2 - 5}$ = $\frac{4}{- 7}$
