The gradient of the line shown in the graph is:
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5
The gradient of the line shown in the graph is:

To find the gradient (slope) of a line on a graph, you can use the formula:
[ text{Gradient} = frac{text{Change in y}}{text{Change in x}} ]
1. Identify two points on the line. For example, if one point is (x1, y1) and another point is (x2, y2), record the coordinates.
2. Calculate the change in y (y2 – y1) and the change in x (x2 – x1).
3. Divide the change in y by the change in x to find the gradient.
For example, if the change in y is 10 and the change in x is 2, the gradient would be:
[ text{Gradient} = frac{10}{2} = 5 ]
If you go through this process using the specific points from the graph, you can find the correct answer. Choose the option that matches your calculation. If you need more detailed steps based on the graph, feel free to ask!
