Gradient Diagrams Geometry
The diagram shows a straight line with the vert/horiz. distances marked on it. Straight line horizontal vertical In each of the diagrams below, calculate the gradient of the straight line shown. The definition of the gradient of a straight line is given by 2 6 m =
In each of the diagrams below, calculate the gradient of the straight line shown. 8 2 m = m =
In each example make a small triangle like that shown in example 1, work out the vertical and the horizontal distances and calculate the gradient of the line using (0,1) (5,5) x y (0,-1) (6,1) y x (1,0) (3,7) y x (-3,0) (7,3) y x (0,-4) (4,0) y x (3,-4) (5,10) y
x (0,5) (4,0) y In each example make a small triangle like that shown in example 1, work out the vertical and the horizontal distances and calculate the gradient of the line using x (0,3) (6,0) y (-1,2) (6,-2) x y x (0,-1) (5,-2) y x (5,0) (0,5) y x (4,-3) (2,9) y
