Question

how to find gradient

Answer 1

To calculate the Gradient:

Divide the change in height by the change in horizontal distance

Gradient = Change in YChange in X 

Examples:

 

The Gradient = 33 = 1

So the Gradient is equal to 1

 

 

The Gradient = 42 = 2

The line is steeper, and so the Gradient is larger.

 

 

The Gradient = 35 = 0.6

The line is less steep, and so the Gradient is smaller.

 

Positive or Negative?

Going from left-to-right, the cyclist has to Push on a Positive Slope:

      

When measuring the line:

Starting from the left and going across to the right is positive 
(but going across to the left is negative).

Up is positive, and down is negative

 

 

Gradient = −42 = −2

That line goes down as you move along, so it has a negative Gradient.

Straight Across 

 

Gradient = 05 = 0

A line that goes straight across (Horizontal) has a Gradient of zero.

Straight Up and Down

 

Gradient = 30 = undefined

That last one is a bit tricky ... you can't divide by zero, 
so a "straight up and down" (vertical) line's Gradient is "undefined".

Rise and Run

Sometimes the horizontal change is called "run", and the vertical change is called "rise" or "fall":



They are just different words, none of the calculations change.

How to find the gradient?  
You devide base with height

Yo can find the gradient by using the formula mx+c

m= gradient and c is intercept

Now let’s see an example of this

Here we have a triangle the base of it in a graph is 4 and the height is 2 and also the line passes through the y axes which is 4 for example.

you do 4 devided be 2 that you get 2 and add the line that always need to get the value where the line touches the y axes that was 4 so you write it like this 2 which is m or gradient 2x+c C is intercept when line passes through y axes that was 4 therefore you write this like 2x+4
