what is the gradient?

Answer:
[tex]{ \tt{gradient = \frac{ - 3 - 1}{0 - ( - 1)} }} \\ = \frac{ - 4}{1} \\ = - 4[/tex]
Answer:
The gradient (slope) is -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that two points on the graph through which the blue line passes exactly are (-2, 5) and (0, -3). As we move from the first point to the second, x increases by 2 (the 'run') and y (the 'rise') decreases by 8. Thus, the gradient, or slope, of this line is m = rise/run = -8/2, or m = -4.
