[2 marks]
2.
Determine whether the gradient of the line connecting (1, 2) and (4, 5) is positive, negative, or zero.
[1 mark]
3.

[2 marks]
4.
A line passes through points (3, 4) and (7, 12). What is its gradient? Show your working.
[3 marks]
5.
A graph shows a straight line with a positive gradient. If the line passes through (1, 2) and (4, 8), what is the gradient?
[2 marks]
6.
A car travels along a road represented by a graph with a positive slope. If at 2 hours the car has traveled 30 km and at 5 hours it has traveled 90 km, what is the average gradient (speed) during this time?
[3 marks]
7.
