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 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
A line is the locus of points which what?
A line is the locus of points such that the gradient (slope) between that point and one fixed point in the plane is a constant. Technically, that definition does not include a vertical line because its gradient is not defined! You could get around that this by requiring that either the gradient is a constant or, if it is undefined, then the inverse gradient (dx/dy) is constant.
What does the slope measure?
The gradient of the straight line
What is the slope of a straight line called?
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 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 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.
What line has a gradient which is infinite?
A vertical line.
What is the measure of the steepness of a line?
The Gradient
What is slope on a line called?
Gradient
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
Gradient of the line y -4x plus 3 is?
If you mean y = -4x+3 then the gradient of the line is -4 and the y intercept is 3
A line is the locus of points which what?
