Best Answer

Gradient is vertical rise / horizontal travel.

If its derived from a mathematical expression, use differential calculus.

If its a data driven ( hand drawn ) line, use best approximation tangent at point required.

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.

Can any 2 points on a straight line be used to find the gradient?

Yes beccause: (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = gradient


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 does a gradient affect the steepness of the line?

The higher the gradient, the more steeper the line will be.


How do you find a gradient of a line without a graph?

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)


What is the gradient of a vertical line?

The gradient of a straight line cannot be defined- it's infinity.
