Answer:
m = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
m is the variable for gradient (just for clarification)
To find the gradient of two given sets of coordinates, we can use the gradient formula:
[tex]m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]
where x1 and y1 is the first pair of points, and x2 and y2 is the second pair of points.
Now, we can simply sub in these numbers:
[tex]m=\frac{9-4}{4-(-1)}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{9-4}{4+1}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{5}{5}[/tex]
[tex]m=1[/tex]
Hope this helped!! Ask me if there's any part of the working you don't understand :)
