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.
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.
The higher the gradient, the more steeper the line will be.
The gradient of a straight line cannot be defined- it's infinity.
It is its slope or gradient.
The gradient of the line was two-thirds.
A vertical line.
The Gradient
Gradient
If you mean y = -4x+3 then the gradient of the line is -4 and the y intercept is 3
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
