the term gradient is often used to mean slope. It has other math meanings. So I am thinking you mean slope of a line?
If so, it is simply how much the line goes up divided by how far it goes This is called the rise divided by or over, the run
For example, it goes up 2 and horizontally 1 then the slope is 2/1 or just 2 It goes up 5 and over 10 the slope is 5/10 or 1/2
If it goes down, the rise is negative. If it goes up from right to left, the rise is negative.

Too make this simple, draw a triangle on the line but make sure it has whole squares when it it touching the line, then do the height of the triangle divided by the length (if the triangle was 9,3 this would give you 3 so the gradient would be 3).

(-1.5,0) (1.5,0) what is the gradient?
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
i think you do Vertical/horizontal
divide by the gradient
y=mx+c m=gradient c= is the y intercept in ur case: y=5x so gradient = 5
