What is gradient?
Gradient (or slope) measures change in y divided by change in x between two points.
Interpreting slopes
- Positive slope: increasing line
- Negative slope: decreasing line
- Zero slope: horizontal
- Undefined slope: vertical
Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens when x values match?
- The run is zero, so the gradient is undefined and the line is vertical.
- Can I get the line equation?
- Yes, the calculator shows y = mx + b when the slope is defined.
