Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (0,2) and (2,-8).

slope = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 8)

m = = = - 5

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

trapezoid

step-by-step explanation:

first i plotted all my points on a grid graph

i made sure all of them were in the correct quadrant

then i saw it was a trapezoid or a quadrilateral
