Finding The Gradient Of A Straight Line

In this video, Lucy explains how to find the gradient of a straight line from a graph. The gradient indicates the steepness of a line, with positive gradients for lines going upwards and negative for downwards. Lucy demonstrates how to calculate the gradient using two exact points on the line, forming a triangle to determine the rise and run. She provides examples of both positive and negative gradients, explaining their significance in real-world contexts like speed on a distance-time graph. The video concludes with a preview of finding the equation of a line in the next video.
