Total questions: 7
Worksheet time: 4mins
Which statements are true? (choose 2)
The steepness of a straight line is determined by its gradient value.
The smaller the gradient value, the steeper the slope of the straight line.
The greater the gradient value, the steeper the slope of the straight line.
What conclusions can be made from both diagrams above?
The larger the angle value, the higher the gradient value.
The larger the angle value, the smaller the gradient value.
The smaller the angle value, the higher the gradient value.
The smaller the angle value, the smaller the gradient value.
From the diagram, state the vertical distance and horizontal distance.
vertical distance = PS
horizontal distance = RS
vertical distance = PR
horizontal distance = PS
vertical distance = RS
horizontal distance = PS
vertical distance = RS
horizontal distance = PR
Which formula are correct to calculate the gradient of a straight line?
m = horizontal distance / vertical distance
m = vertical distance / horizontal distance
Determine the vertical distance and the horizontal distance of point P and point Q.
Horizontal distance = 6 units
Vertical distance = 4 units
Horizontal distance = 4 m
Vertical distance = 6 m
Horizontal distance = 6 m
Vertical distance = 4 m
Calculate the value of gradient of a
line PR using formula below:
m = vertical distance/ horizontal distance
m = 45
m = 54
Calculate the gradient for the line PQ.
m = 216
m = 162
m = 8
m = 81
