How do you find the average of a line plot?

divide by the gradient


How do you work out the gradient of a perpendicular line?

basically the reciprocal of the original lines gradient is going to be the gradient for the perpendicular line (remember the signs should switch). For example if i had a line with the gradient of 3, then the gradient of the perpendicular line will be -1over3. But if the line had the gradient of -3, then the line perpendicular to that line will have the gradient 1over3.


How to calculate the gradient from the non linear graph?

Draw a tangent to the curve at the point where you need the gradient and find the gradient of the line by using gradient = up divided by across


Can any 2 points on a straight line be used to find the gradient?

Yes beccause: (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = gradient


The line L has an equation 5x+7y = 3. Find the gradient of line L?

How does a gradient affect the steepness of the line?

The higher the gradient, the more steeper the line will be.


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.


What is the gradient of a vertical line?

The gradient of a straight line cannot be defined- it's infinity.


How do you find a gradient of a line without a graph?

Select two values of x: (x1 and x2) within the domain. Solve the equation of the line to find the corresponding values for y: (y1 and y2). Then the gradient = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)


How can you find the instantaneous acceleration of an object whose curve on the velocity time graph is a straight line?

It is the gradient (slope) of the line.


How do you use gradient in a sentence?

The gradient of the line was two-thirds.


What is the term for how steep a line is?

It is its slope or gradient.
