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)

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
Select two points on the graph and suppose their coordinates are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the gradient = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2) provided that x1 and x2 are different. If not, the gradient is not defined.
It is the gradient (slope) of the line.
The gradient (slope) of the tangent to the graph at the given time - provided that it exists. If the graph is a straight line at that point, it is the gradient of that line.
a graph of the independent variable and dependant that shows a graph with a fixed gradient (I.E a line graph) The equation of the graph will be given by y = mx +c where m is the gradient and c is a constant
