You look at the change in the vertical distance and divide that by the change in the horizontal distance. This is known as the rise over the run. So if the line goes 4 units and over 2 units, the slope or gradient is 4/2=2. Horizontal lines have slope 0 since the rise is 0
It is my2-y1/x2-x1 the points are (9,7) (6,5) x1 y1 x2 y2 m5-7/6-9 m= -3/-3 m-0 That is the gradient
a straight line

i believe you mean that the question is to do with the gradient of a line the gradient of a line is the change in height divided by the change in distance which is the same as slope divided by distortion if a man goes up a hill and his height cahnges by 1 metres vertically and he walks horizontally 10 metres then the slope is 1 metre and the distortion is 10 metres. Gradiend is 1 -10th or 10%.....

something that shows the direction of a latitude line running straight to the equator
The gradient of a straight line cannot be defined- it's infinity.
Yes beccause: (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = 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.
It is the gradient (slope) of the line.

no. you tell me. why is this not on the internet.
The slope. The gradient of a straight line is the number of co-ordinates on the y axis to one co-ordinate on the x axis.
120?
See the many answers currently available. It equals the change in y divided by the corresponding change in x, as you go along any segment of the line.
