A line is the locus of points such that the gradient (slope) between that point and one fixed point in the plane is a constant. Technically, that definition does not include a vertical line because its gradient is not defined! You could get around that this by requiring that either the gradient is a constant or, if it is undefined, then the inverse gradient (dx/dy) is constant.
Y=2x+c where c is arbitery constant
They are straight lines through the origin and their gradient is the constant of proportionality.
Not a constant, but the differential, i.e. gradient, of the equation. It = 0 at maxima and minima, where the curve is at its turning-point(s).
k is the constant of variation and is the gradient (slope) of the relevant graph.

The answer depends on what the graph is of!
In osmosis, the concentration gradient, temperature, pressure, and size of the particles are typically held constant. In diffusion, the concentration gradient, temperature, size of the particles, and medium in which diffusion is occurring are commonly kept constant.
A force gradient means the force is different in one location than it is in another. It is simply not constant but a function of position.
Y=2x+c where c is arbitery constant
It will just be the gradient of the function, which should be constant in a linear function.

A negative gradient for acceleration due to gravity experiment would be obtained when the data shows a decrease in acceleration values as the object is dropped from increasing heights. This could be due to factors such as air resistance or experimental errors affecting the measurements.
SI and CGS unit of porosity is the constant between the molar fluxes. This is due to molecular diffusion and the gradient.
