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 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.


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.
