Here are the solutions to your analytical geometry problems.

1.1 Calculate the gradient of BG.
The coordinates of B are $(-3, -4)$ and G are $(-1, 0)$.

Step 1: Use the gradient formula $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$.

$$m_{BG} = \frac{0 - (-4)}{-1 - (-3)}$$ $$m_{BG} = \frac{4}{-1 + 3}$$ $$m_{BG} = \frac{4}{2}$$ $$m_{BG} = 2$$

The gradient of BG is $\boxed{2}$.
