Answer:
gradient = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the gradient (slope) m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 3) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{3-(-1)}{2-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3+1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] = 2
