Gradient skills (1 Viewer)

[Fire Sprite]

Hi there,

im a geographer who dropped maths so some of the skills aspects tend to confuse me hahah
i was just wondering if someone can give me a basic explanation of the gradient questions that often pop up in skills tests? Ie Find the average gradient between Point X AR 4229 and Point Y AR 4534?
I know you find the difference in height between the two points and the distance between the two, put them into the same units.....then what?? hahaha

thanks

You may as well give up now if your to fucking stupid to know that

Ant, this is a HSC HELP forum, not a HSC put-down forum. Please be polite.

a better way to think of it is

(change in height)/(change in distance)

rise over run
