Formula For Calculating Gradient, Rise, Run

Gradient is the steepness and direction of a line as read from left to right.Gradient can be found by determining the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change) between two points(x1,x2) and (y1,y2) on the line.

Gradient (m) = RiseRun

Rise = y2 - y1

Run = x2 - x1

Where,

x1: First horizontal co-ordinate, affects run and gradient .

y1: First vertical co-ordinate, affects rise and gradient.

x2: Second horizontal co-ordinate, affects run and gradient .

y2: Second vertical co-ordinate, affects rise and gradient.

Rise: Vertical height, affects y2 and gradient .

Run: Horizontal height, affects x2 and gradient .

Gradient: Gradient size, affects rise and y2.
