The altitude and climate change
1-choose any two points on the line.
2-draw a right-angled triangle with the line as hypotenuse.
3-use the scale on each axis to find the triangle's: vertical length.horizontal length.
4-work out the vertical length ÷ horizontal length.
5-the result is the gradient of the line.
What I can tell is that they both share the same x coordinate. To help you understand, the horizontal line is from left to right, think of "The sun setting in the horizon.", it is often in the distance as a "left to right" line. So, I hope that helps, this leaves the vertical line as up or down.
With that out of the way, the x-axis lies on the horizontal line, whereas the y-axis lies on the vertical line.
Point coordinates are typically listed as (x, y), so... with that said, to find the distance we'll have to count downwards. As we know, negative x is to the left, negative y is further down, so... -3 to -12 is 9 points away.
Simple method: -3 - 9 = -12, or... -12 - -3 = -12 + 3 = -9.
In other words you get the basic idea, you can also just count, but whatever.
I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^
