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.
