The slope or gradient of a line

How is the slope or gradient of a line (m) calculated?

`Gradient (m)=(y(chang\e\ i\n))/(x(chang\e\ i\n)`

To calculate the gradient of a line you divide the change in height by the change in horizontal distance.

Change the Y and the x values from the rise and run of the line

Examples

The gradient (m) of this line = `y/x=6/2=3`

Answer:

This line has a gradient of 2.

This example has a gradient of 6

The gradient (m) of this line = `y/x=10/2=5`

Answer:

This line has a gradient of 5.
