A positive gradient is a characteristic of a function whose value increases as the value of the argument increases.
So, if y is a function, f(x), of x, then an increase in the value of x is accompanied by an increase in the value of y.

Does the line of best fit have to have a positive gradient?
Not at all. If the two variables have a negative correlation, that is as on increases the other decreases, then the line of best fit would have a negative gradient.
What is a layer in math?
A boundary layer in math is a region of very large values of the gradient of a certain function. It is also stated that a boundary layer has its origin in fluid dynamics.
Is anion is positive or negative?
negative. why is this question in math when it should be in chemistry?
What is a positive difference in math terms?
When you subtract the smaller number from the larger number in the problem. The answer should always be positive.
Why in maths is the gradient represented by an M?
The gradient of a line is designated by m, abbreviated from modulus. Modulus is an absolute value calculated by adding the squares of each part and taking the positive square root of the sum, and is derived from the Latin modus, meaning measure.
In math what is the graident?
gradient in math refers to the slope of a line
What does a positive and a negative gradient look like?
A positive gradient goes uphill from left to right A negative gradient goes downhill from left to right
What powers the proton gradient of positive ions in the stroma?
proton gradient
What is a positive gradient?
An uphill climb
When the coefficient of x is positive the line what?
Has a positive gradient (in a y=mx+c graph)
How want to know that the gradient of a curve in displacement-time graph is increasing or decreasing?
If the gradient is a positive number the curve is increasing, and if the gradient is a negative number it is decreasing.
How can you tell whether the gradient of a curve is increasing or decreasing?
Differentiate the curve twice and then enter a value for x. If the answer is positive, the gradient is increasing at that point. If the answer is negative, the gradient is decreasing at that point. And if the answer is zero, the gradient is not changing.
Does the line of best fit always have a positive gradient?

Will the gradient of y equals -x plus 1 be positive or negative?
negative
What is a positive linear relationship?
A linear relationship is one where your equation forms a straight line. A positive linear relationship is one where this line has a positive gradient.
What is significance of correlation?
it shows any pattern that may emerge in any given set of date, this includes a positive or negative correlation. positive where a gradient goes from low to high negative where a gradient goes from high to low
What is your positive and negative?
positive is to add and negative is to subtract in math
