The Gradient 4 2 2. Calculate the rise and run You can draw it on the graph if it helps. The slope of a straight line is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x also called the rise over run.
You have all the information you need to draw a single line on the map.
The change in y divided by the change in x or rise over run is the equation for a slope of a graph. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation y 2x 4. Another way of saying this is that the slope is the rate of change of y with respect to x. M Y 2 Y 1 X 2 X 1 The answer M is the slope of the line.
