what is the gradine with these coordinates -2,5 and 3,5

The gradient (or slope) of a line passing through two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula:

\[
\text{Slope (m)} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

For the points \((-2, 5)\) and \((3, 5)\):

\[
\text{m} = \frac{5 - 5}{3 - (-2)} = \frac{0}{3 + 2} = \frac{0}{5} = 0
\]

The gradient of the line is \(0\). This means the line is horizontal.

2. How do you calculate the equation of a line using two points?
3. What does a positive gradient indicate about a line's direction?
4. How do you find the midpoint between two points?
5. Can a line have an undefined gradient?

**Tip**: A horizontal line always has a gradient of zero, as there's no vertical change.
