See the many answers currently available. It equals the change in y divided by the corresponding change in x, as you go along any segment of the line.

What is the steepness on a line graph called?
The steepness of a line graph is called the "gradient" ------------------------------- or slope.
What is the steepness of a line graph called?
It is sometimes called the gradient.
Is the first derivative of a function is a constant then its graph is?
A line. The derivative of a function is its slope. If the slope is a constant then the graph is a line.
What type of gradient changes in color in a straight line from a starting point to an ending point?
linear
How do you graph g of x equals 5x?
It is a straight line through the origin with slope of 5. So start at (0,0) and go up 5 and over 1 to find the next point. Join those two points with a line and you can see the graph.
How can you find the instantaneous acceleration of an object whose curve on the velocity time graph is a straight line?
It is the gradient (slope) of the line.
What feature of a distance per time graph represents speed?
The gradient (slope) of the tangent to the graph at the given time - provided that it exists. If the graph is a straight line at that point, it is the gradient of that line.
If a straight line graph has a gradient of zero it must be horizontal?
120?
What is the meaning of a straight line graph?
A graph which comes out as a straight line. This is usually in the form y = mx + b where b is the y co-ordinate where the line crosses the y-axis, and m is the gradient (rise divided by run/height divided by length). A graph of this type will always be going up (as in /) as it has positive gradient (thusly, one of negative gradient will be going downwards (\ so to speak).
What does a direct proportion look like on a graph?
A straight line, through the origin, sloping up from left to right. The gradient of the graph will be the constant of proportionality.
How to calculate the gradient from the non linear graph?
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
How is acceleration obtained from a velocity line graph?
the gradient of the graph
What can you say about the graph Ax plus By equals C about the graph Ax plus By equals C?
It is a straight line with gradient -A/B and intercept C/B.
What is the steepness on a line graph called?
The steepness of a line graph is called the "gradient" ------------------------------- or slope.
What does a line slanting up from left to right represent on a acceleration time graph?
A straight line with a gradient > 0 represents a constant rate of acceleration.
What is the slant of a line in a graph?
The slope. Or the gradient, on a straight line graph, it is represented by m in the equation y=mx + c. It can also be calculated by the rise (change in y) ÷ run (change in x)
How do you find the gradient of a line from a graph?
Select two points on the graph and suppose their coordinates are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the gradient = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2) provided that x1 and x2 are different. If not, the gradient is not defined.
