Gradient measures the steepness of a slope. • Step 1: Measure the rise (difference in height
between 2 points)• Step 2 : Measure the run (the distance
between 2 points). Make sure that you convert the scale into metres
• Both the rise and run need to be expressed in metres.

• Say the rise is 42 metres and the run is 600 metres.
• 42(rise)/600(run) - Formula (divide the top by itself and the bottom by the top)
• Divide 42 by itself = 1• Divide 600 by 42 = 14.3

• The answer can be expressed in three ways:• a) As a statement 1 in 14.3• b) As a ratio 1: 14.3• c) As a representative fraction 1/14.3

Perpendicular Lines Postulate:
• l1⊥l2 if and only if m1∙m2 = -1
• That is, m2 = -1/m1, The slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
• Two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is -1.Vertical and horizontal lines are perpendicular.
