m = (Delta y)/(Delta x) = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

Explanation:

Gradient is defined as the

("vertical change")/("horizontal change")

or " "m = (Delta y)/(Delta x)

Therefore use two points and find the vertical distance between them and the horizontal distance between them.

m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)
