How do you use gradient in a sentence?

The gradient of the line was two-thirds.


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.


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.


What is the gradient of a vertical line?

How do you find gradient of a trend line?

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.
