What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about the gradient of a straight line. The gradient tells us how steep or shallow a line is. We will start by understanding the concept of gradient and how it relates to real-life situations. We will then learn how to calculate the gradient using the ratio of vertical distance to horizontal distance. Finally, we will derive the formula for finding the gradient of a straight line on the Cartesian plane. By the end of this chapter, we will be able to determine the gradient of any straight line and understand its significance in mathematics and everyday life.
