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
