A line is the locus of points which what?
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.
What is the equation of a line which has gradient 2?
Y=2x+c where c is arbitery constant
How do you evaluate graphs of proportional relationships?
They are straight lines through the origin and their gradient is the constant of proportionality.
Which constant tells you what the value of maximum and minimum?
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).
What does k correspond to in a direct variation function?
k is the constant of variation and is the gradient (slope) of the relevant graph.
Does constant gradient have anything to do with passive transport?
No, constant gradient does not directly relate to passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane without the use of cellular energy, while constant gradient refers to a consistent change in concentration over a distance. However, the presence of a constant gradient can facilitate passive transport by driving the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient.

Can the spring constant be found by the gradient of the graph?
The answer depends on what the graph is of!
What variables are held constant in osmosis and diffusion?
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.
What is gradient force?
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.
What is the equation of a line which has gradient 2?
Y=2x+c where c is arbitery constant
What is the rate of change of a linear function?
It will just be the gradient of the function, which should be constant in a linear function.

They are straight lines through the origin and their gradient is the constant of proportionality.

What is the gradient of acceleration time graph?
The gradient of an acceleration-time graph represents the rate at which the acceleration is changing over time. If the gradient is positive, it indicates an increase in acceleration, while a negative gradient indicates a decrease in acceleration. A horizontal line on the graph would represent a constant acceleration, where the gradient is zero.
What does k correspond to in a direct variation function?
k is the constant of variation and is the gradient (slope) of the relevant graph.
What would you expect to find in an area with ten evenly spaced contour lines?
A steady incline or decline - constant gradient
