The gradient of the straight line joining the points P(5, -7) and Q(-2, -3) is
-
A.
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-
B.
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-
C.
\(-\frac{4}{7}\)
-
D.
\(-\frac{2}{3}\)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
PQ = \(\frac{y_1 - y_0}{x_1 - x_0}\) = \(\frac{-3 - (-7)}{-2 - 5}\) = \(\frac{-3 + 7}{-2 - 5}\) = \(\frac{4}{-7}\)
