10.1 Gradients Worksheet (Pgs1-2)
This road sign warns that the road has a steep gradient.
For every 4 units you travel horizontally
1 in 4 you go up ( or down ) 1 unit.
In maths lines have gradients too.

Gradients
Work out the gradient of each line.
Look for points where each line passes through corners on the grid.
Use those points to draw a gradient triangle. Work out the gradient of each line.
