Back
The gradient is a measure of how steep a line is, represented as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a positive gradient indicate?
Back
A positive gradient indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward slope.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a negative gradient indicate?
Back
A negative gradient indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward slope.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does an undefined gradient mean?
Back
An undefined gradient occurs when a line is vertical, meaning there is no horizontal change (run = 0), making the gradient calculation impossible.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating the gradient between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The formula is: Gradient (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the gradient of a horizontal line?
Back
The gradient of a horizontal line is 0, as there is no vertical change (rise) regardless of the horizontal change (run).
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the y-intercept of a line from its equation?
Back
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. In the equation y = mx + b, b represents the y-intercept.
