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)`
Further explanation
To calculate the gradient of a line you divide the change in height by the change in horizontal distance.
Examples
The gradient (m) of this line = `y/x=6/2=3`
Answer:
This line has a gradient of 2.
The gradient (m) of this line = `y/x=10/2=5`
Answer:
This line has a gradient of 5.
