What is the measure of the steepness of a line?
The Gradient
The steepness of a line on a graph is called the?
The "steepness" of a line is called the slope. The slope represents the the amount of change in the y-direction of the line per every change in the x-direction. This is represented mathematically by slope = Δy/Δx Δy is also called the "rise" and Δx is also called the "run". The steepness can also be called the gradient, which is represented by an angle. The gradient can be calculated from the slope by using the formula gradient = tan(slope).
The measure of steepness of line?
The "slope".
The slope of a line measures what?
The slope of a line measures the steepness of the line.
What relationship does the slope of the line describe?
it relates the relative steepness of a line.
What is the measure of the steepness of a line?
The Gradient
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 straight line called?
Gradient
What part of a line that is also called rise-over-run measures the steepness?
It is the slope or gradient of the line that measures its steepness.
What is the steepness of a line graph called?
It is sometimes called the gradient.
Steepness of a line?
Its gradient, or slope. More precisely, it would be the absolute value of the gradient since the question does not distinguish between steepness from left to right or right to left.

What is beach gradient?
the steepness of a beach:L
What is the steepness of a stream channel?
Gradient
What is the does this definition go with- The slope of a line conecting two points?
The gradient is a measure of steepness from one point to another.
The slope-intercept equation of a line is y equals mx plus b where m is the slope of the line?
y = mx + c is the equation of a straight oblique line where m = gradient The gradient is a measue of the steepness of a line (or a measure of the slope of the line)
What does the slope of a veloctiy time graphy represent?
The slope represents a change in velocity, or acceleration. The acceleration is the gradient (steepness) of the line. A larger gradient means faster acceleration. if the gradient points down and is negative then it represents deceleration.
