About the Gradient Calculator

The Gradient calculator allows you to calculate any component of a Gradient, vertical/horizontal coordinates, rise, run and/or Gradient by entering the known quantities of the Gradient. You can calculate the missing coordinates in a Gradient, the rise of a Gradient, the run of a Gradient and any mathematical quantity associated with Gradient calculations.

Properties of a Gradient

A line that slopes up from left to right has a positive Gradient

A line that slopes down from left to right has a negative Gradient

The Gradient of a vertical line is undefined

The Gradient of a horizontal line is 0

The notation for a Gradient is m
