2. Gradient Diagrams Geometry

3. 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 = 5 5 7 3

4. In each of the diagrams below, calculate the gradient of the straight line shown. 8 2 m = 5 1 1 9 4 6 2 5 6 6 1 7 2 12 m =

5. 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 1.2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

6. 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 7. 8. 9. 10.11. 12.
