The Gradient
General equation of a straight line
Any equation of a straight line can be written in the form y = mx + c, where m and c are constants.
This is known as the general equation, or the standard form of a linear rule.

The Gradient
The gradient of a straight line is a measure of the steepness of that line. The gradient is often referred to as the ‘slope’. The steeper the hill the greater the gradient.
Positive Gradient-from left to right, the slope is upwards=positive gradient
Negative Gradient-from left to right, the slope is downwards=negative gradient

The Gradient
In this section we will consider three methods of finding the gradient of a line:
Method 1- From the graph
Method 2- From the coordinates of any two points on the line
Method 3- From the rule.

The Gradient-METHOD 1
METHOD 1- Finding the gradient of a line from the graph
Step 1 Draw a right-angled triangle (called ‘gradient triangle’) anywhere along the line.
Step 2 Use the triangle to measure the vertical distance (called the ‘rise’) and the horizontal distance (called the ‘run’).

The Gradient
Step 3 Calculate the ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance to find the value of the gradient.

The Gradient
Observe that in the previous worked example (a), the graph that sloped upward to the right had a positive gradient, while the graph (b) which sloped downward to the right had a negative gradient. Finally (c), a horizontal line had a gradient of 0.
These observations will hold for any linear graph.
