Finding the Gradient of a Straight Line
This video explains how to find the gradient of a straight line from a graph. The gradient (slope) tells us how steep a line is and is calculated using rise/run or change in y / change in x. Positive gradients slope upward (/), while negative gradients slope downward (\). Understanding gradients is essential for finding line equations.
