Created this as a copy of 2.5.2 The gradient of a straight line through two points.

There is only one version of this question that you have access to.

There is one other version that you do not have access to.

Question statement

Find the gradient of the line joining the points $A(\var{x1}, \var{y1})$ and $B(\var{x2}, \var{y2})$

Give any introductory information the student needs.

			Name	Type	Generated Value

diagram1	jsxgraphboard	HTML node
v	list	List of 21 items
x1	number	4
x2	number	9
y1	number	-5
y2	number	-10

Automatically regenerate variables?

    A= point(x1,y1);
    B=point(x2,y2);
  
    side_a = line(A,B);
    
    x=text(14.3,-1,"x"); // no idea how to get axis labels otherwise...
    y=text(-1.2,23.8,"y");
  
  """),
)

JME function reference

This variable is an interactive HTML node. Interactive HTML nodes can not be relied upon to work correctly when resuming a session - for example, attached event callbacks will be lost, and mathematical notation will likely also break.

If this causes problems, try to create HTML nodes where you use them in content areas, instead of storing them in variables.

Description

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Generated value: `jsxgraphboard`

0,0

← Depends on:

This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Advice

{diagram1}

$\begin{align}\textrm{gradient} &= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ &= \frac{\var{y2}-\var{y1}}{\var{x2}-\var{x1}}\\&=\frac{\var{y2-y1}}{\var{x2-x1}}\\&=\var[fractionNumbers]{(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}\end{align}$
