A line passes through the origin and the point ((1frac{1}{4}, 2frac{1}{2})), what is the gradient of the line?
-
A.
1 -
B.
2 -
C.
3 -
D.
4
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
(Gradient = frac{y_{1} – y_{0}}{x_{1} – x_{0}})
Line passing through ((0, 0)) & ((1frac{1}{4}, 2frac{1}{2})),
(Gradient = frac{2frac{1}{2} – 0}{1frac{1}{4} – 0} = frac{frac{5}{2}}{frac{5}{4}} )
= 2.
