Gradient of line = | y-step |
x-step |
Example
Find the gradient of the red line.
Answer
First we must find points with whole number coordinates on the red line in order to build a "step".
The vertical part of the step (y-step) = 4
The horizontal part of the step (x-step) = 2
Gradient of line = | y-step | = | 4 | = 2 |
x-step | 2 |
