.
In this problem (the case of straight lines in 2D coordinate plane), GRADIENT is the same as SLOPE:
these conceptions/notions are synonymous.
On calculating slopes, see the lesson
- Find the slope of a straight line in a coordinate plane passing through two given points
in this site.
Calculate the gradient IN THE SAME WAY as you calculate slope.
