Y= 4x-1 is the equation of a straight line graph. What is its gradient?

The gradient is 4 because the general equation is y= mx+c where m is the gradient.

When a straight line is given the form:


y=mx+c

m is the gradient. It shows how the value of y changes for an increase of x by 1.

So, in this case, the gradient is 4
