Answer:

Gradient = 2

Explanation:

Gradient of a line = Slope of the line

Since, slope of a line passing through two points
(x_1, y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is given by,

Slope =
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Given line in the graph passes through two points (1, 0) and (2, 2)

Therefore, slope or gradient of the line =
(2-0)/(2-1)

= 2

Gradient = 2 will be the answer.
