If you have the equation, yes.
If the equation is given in terms of x and y, make y the subject of the equation. That is, expres the equation in the form y = mx + c where m and c are constants. Then the gradient is m.

What is approximate gradient?
The gradient of a line is the same as the slope of a line. It will tell someone measuring the line how straight the line is.
How can you tell from a linear equation which direction it goes without graphing the equation?
You must find the slope, if it is positive, then the line is always increasing. If it is negative, then the line is always decreasing.
What does the gradient of a straight line mean?
no. you tell me. why is this not on the internet.
How do you figure out the equation of a table with a graphic calculator?
It depends on which calculator! If the data is linear, you can estimate the slope of the line and the y-intercept from graphing the data. By graphing the data, you will be able to tell if it forms a straight line or not.
What does the gradient of a line on a distance-time graph tell us about an object?
The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
How can you tell that the line segment connnecting the points is vertical without graphing the points?
The equation does not have and y variable in it: it is of the form x = c. Alternatively, the x coordinates of both points are the same and the y coordinates are not.
Why is graphing the solution of an inequality easier than listing all solutions?
so that you can easily tell what the answer is by extending the line on the graph instead of calculating it

Without graphing how can you tell which slope is steeper?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.

How can you tell whether the gradient of a curve is increasing or decreasing?
Differentiate the curve twice and then enter a value for x. If the answer is positive, the gradient is increasing at that point. If the answer is negative, the gradient is decreasing at that point. And if the answer is zero, the gradient is not changing.
