the gradient of a line is a measure of how____it is.
o a. long
o b. none of these
o c. horizontal
o d. steep
o e. straight

Explanation:

The gradient (or slope) of a line is calculated as \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). A larger magnitude of the gradient value indicates a steeper line. For example, a line with \(m = 3\) is steeper than a line with \(m=1\). A horizontal line has a gradient of \(m = 0\), and the length or straight - ness of a line is not related to the gradient concept.

Answer:

d. steep
