This is the symbol for the gradient of a straight line. It is a ratio between a change in the input, and a change in the output.
This is the symbol for the gradient of a straight line. It is a ratio between a change in the input, and a change in the output. In the case of a 1 dimensional function on the \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x} \htmlClass{sdt-0000000017}{y}\)-plane, the gradient will be the ratio between the change in \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x}\) and the change in \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000017}{y}\) between any two points on the line:
The symbol \(m\) represents gradient of a straight line. It is a ratio between a change in the input, and a change in the output. In the case of a 1 dimensional function on the \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x} \htmlClass{sdt-0000000017}{y}\)-plane, the gradient will be the ratio between the change in \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x}\) and the change in \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000017}{y}\) between any two points on the line: \[ m = \frac{\htmlClass{sdt-0000000105}{\Delta} \htmlClass{sdt-0000000017}{y}}{\htmlClass{sdt-0000000105}{\Delta} \htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x}}\]
