What line has a gradient which is infinite?
A vertical line.
When representing speed on the vertical axis could the line become vertical. why or why not?
No, because the gradient of the line becomes infinite. Infinite gradient is equivalent to infinite acceleration at that point. Infinite acceleration (by Newton's Laws) would require infinite force.
How does a gradient affect the steepness of the line?
The higher the gradient, the more steeper the line will be.
What is the slope of the line that contains the points -1 8 and 5 -4?
The gradient or "slope" of a line is found by dividing the vertical displacement by the horizontal displacement. In other words the amount "up" divided by the amount "across" So (-1,8) to (5,4) has moved 6 across and -4 down. So the gradient is -4/6 = -2/3
What is the measure of the steepness of a line?
The Gradient
