The gradient of the graph.
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
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.
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
