y2 - y1
-------- = Gradient <----- that is the formula to slope in y=Mx+b
x2 - x1
Gradient is change in Y divided by change in X. X is your field value(kilometers, miles, feet, etc) and Y is the units of your isolines(degrees, feet, meters, etc)

How do you find the gradient of a Linear Equation?
If necessary, rearrange the linear equation so that it is in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + c Then the gradient of the line is m.
What is the equation of the line that passes through the orgin and has a gradient of -4?
y = -4x
What is the equation of the line with gradient 2 and y intercept of 3?
y = 2x + 3
How can you find equation of the line passing thruogh two points?
. the equation of a straight line can be found by using two points on a line . First find the gradient of the line using the gradient formula . now substitute the gradient into general form replacing "m" . use one of the points and substitute into equation to solve "c" example 1: find the equation of the line which passes through the points (1,3) and (2,5). step 1: find the gradient M=5-3/2-1=2 (/=divide) step 2: place m into the equation Y=2x+c step 3: substitute point into equation 3=2(1)+c step 4: solve C=1 equation is Y=2x+1 hope that helps :)
How do you find the gradient of a line using y equals 7x plus 2?
When the equation is given in the standard form: y = mx + c, the gradient is m. So here, y = 7x + 2 means m, the gradient, is 7.
How do you find the gradient of a line with the equation y equals 3x plus 2?
An equation such as y = mx + c is said to be in standard form. From such an equation, Gradient = coefficient of x = 3
What is the equation for calculating gradient earth science?
Gradient= change in field value divided by the distance
How do you find the gradient of a Linear Equation?
If necessary, rearrange the linear equation so that it is in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + c Then the gradient of the line is m.
How do you find the gradient of y equals 2x plus 3?
It's 2. your equation is y=mx+b, so the gradient, or slope, is the "m" in the equation.
What is the gradient of a line whose equation is Equation y7x-3?
10
Can you tell the gradient without graphing the line?
If you have the equation, yes. If the equation is given in terms of x and y, make y the subject of the equation. That is, expres the equation in the form y = mx + c where m and c are constants. Then the gradient is m.
What is the gradient of a line with the equation 5x-10?
15
What is the slope of the line given by the equation y 11x 5?
y = 11x + 5 The slope/gradient of this equation is 11. The slope/gradient can easily been seen in a linear equation: it is simply the co-efficient of x
What is the gradient of a line with the equation y 3x - 2?
1
How do you rotate the equation of a line?
Change the number in front of the X, as that is the gradient.
What is the equation of the line that passes through the orgin and has a gradient of -4?
y = -4x
How do you find slope of an equation?
Slope or gradient = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
