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.
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.
The slope. The gradient of a straight line is the number of co-ordinates on the y axis to one co-ordinate on the x axis.
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
Depends on the gradient or slope of the lines.
