GRADIENTS. Gradient is steepness. Gradient is calculated using the ratio. height gained horizontal dist. Ex1. 30. 6. gradient = hght horz. = 30 / 6. = 5. Ex2. 16. 2. gradient = hght horz. = -16 / 2. = -8. Coordinates & Gradients. Ex.

GRADIENTS Gradient is steepness Gradient is calculated using the ratio height gained horizontal dist
Ex1 30 6 gradient = hght horz = 30/6 = 5
Ex2 16 2 gradient = hght horz = -16/2 = -8
Coordinates & Gradients Ex Find the gradient of the line from (1,6) to (7,4). gradient = hght horz 6 2 = -2/6 = -1/3
RULE In the equation y = mx + c the value of m is the gradient.
