Answer: 3/2

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient = slope

Pick any two points on the diagonal line and use the slope formula.

I'll pick the two points (0,4) and (4,10)


(x_1,y_1) = (0,4) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (4,10)\\\\m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))\\\\m = (10 - 4)/(4 - 0)\\\\m = (6)/(4)\\\\m = (3)/(2)\\\\

The slope is 3/2.

Meaning we go up 3 and to the right 2.
