Any straight line graph has a constant gradient, which is calculated by the change in 𝑦 divided by the change in 𝑥, along any section of the graph. The gradient is measuring the steepness of the ...

If we are given equation of the line instead of the graph, we can still determine the gradient. Equations of straight-line graphs are given in the form: \(\text{y = 2x - 1}\) The gradient is 2 and the ...
