Gradient Calculator

The gradient of a straight line can be found using this online Gradient Calculator.

Key Definitions:

Gradient describes the steepness of a straight line.
A line is said to have a positive gradient if the slope goes up from the left hand side to the right hand side.
A line is said to have a negative gradient if it inclines downwards from the left hand side to the right hand side.
A vertical line is said to have an undefined gradient, while a horizontal line has a gradient of 0.
The notation that is used for gradients is m.
In algebra, a gradient of a line or a function can be found using differentiation.

The Slope Calculator is another online tool that may be useful to you.
