To calculate the gradient of the line in the graph, we follow these steps:

1. Recall the formula for gradient: $\text{Gradient} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ where $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are two points on the line.

2. Pick two clear points from the graph:

   • From the graph, the line passes through $(0, 0)$ and $(5, 25)$.

3. Substitute into the gradient formula: $\text{Gradient} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{25 - 0}{5 - 0} = \frac{25}{5} = 5.0$

4. Final Answer: The gradient of the line is $\mathbf{5.0}$.

Tip:

When identifying points on a graph to calculate the gradient, choose points where the line clearly crosses grid intersections to avoid inaccuracies.
