1.3.1 Straight lines

For points (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1)(x1​,y1​) and (x2,y2)(x_2,y_2)(x2​,y2​), the gradient is [...]\text{[...]}[...].

A

It rises from left to right.

B

For points (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1)(x1​,y1​) and (x2,y2)(x_2,y_2)(x2​,y2​), the gradient is m=y2−y1x2−x1\boxed{m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}m=x2​−x1​y2​−y1​​​.

C

y=−32x+5y=-\frac{3}{2}x+5y=−23​x+5

D

One equation is a non-zero multiple of the other.
