The gradient of the line given by the equation $y = 3x - 4$ is the coefficient of $x$. In this linear equation, the standard form is $y = mx + c$, where $m$ represents the gradient (or slope) and $c$ represents the y-intercept.

Here, $m = 3$. Therefore, the gradient of the line is:

$\text{Gradient} = 3$

Tip: The gradient of a line determines how steep the line is; a higher gradient means a steeper slope.
