Math Problem Statement
What is the gradient of the blue line?
Solution
To find the gradient (slope) of the blue line from the image, we can use the formula for the gradient:
From the image, the blue line appears to pass through the following two points:
- Point 1:
- Point 2:
Using these points:
Thus, the gradient of the blue line is .

Tip: Always choose clear points on the grid when calculating the gradient, preferably those where the line crosses exact coordinates (integer values).
