Question

What is the gradient of the blue line

Answer 1

The gradient is also known as the slope and we can find it using the slope/gradient formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

To find the gradient/slope, we need to first choose two points on the line. You can choose any two points you like, as long as they are on the line you are trying to find the slope of.

Point 1 = (2,2)

Point 2 = (5,8)

Now, we can plug in these points to the formula and solve.

(8 - 2) / (5 - 2)

6 / 3

2

The gradient of the blue line is 2.

Hope this helps!! :)
