The gradient tells us how steep a line is, therefore the bigger the gradient the steeper the line is. A positive gradient is a straight line which slopes up to the right. A negative gradient is a ...

right end of pattern is below the line Short tails at both ends of the data distribution Curved pattern with slope increasing from left to right Data distribution is skewed to the right Curved pattern ...

To calculate the gradient of this line using the formula, first pick two coordinates that lie on the line. Any two points can be chosen but for the example below the points (2,7) and (9,3 ...
