Gradient – Rise over run
To calculate the gradient of any line select any 2 points on the line and find the rise and run.
Because:
`Gradient=(Rise)/(Run)` (Gradient is Rise over Run)
It's grey (gradient) and then the sun rises overhead (rise over) as we go for a run (run).
A graph showing a slope
A graph showing an alternative slope
You can run in either direction.
Example
Find the gradient of the graph below:
`Rise=3-1=2`
`Run=4-1=3`
Therefore `Gradient=(Rise)/(Run)`
`Gradient=2/3=0.66`
