In order to work with gradients and straight lines successfully, a good understanding of coordinates and linear graphs is needed. The gradient of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in the ...

In math and statistics, you may occasionally need to calculate the slope of a line generated by coordinates in the (x,y) format. The slope is a value that indicates the rate at which the y value of a ...

Higher - The gradients of two perpendicular lines will always multiply to make –1. Make sure you are familiar with finding the equation of a line and calculating gradient to understand equations of ...

Slope and intercepts of a line are fundamental concepts in mathematics, especially in algebra, calculus, and geometry. Calculating the slope (m) tells us how steep the line is, while intercepts (x and ...

Find \(\ds \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}\) where \(\ds f(x)=\frac{3x+1}{x-2}\text{.}\) What does the result in (a) tell you about the tangent line to the graph ...
