Answer:

The gradient is m=1/3

Explanation:

The gradient, known as the slope, is the rate of change, defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. In this case, we will select two points from the line and calculate the slope from there. I selected (0,3) and (3,4) to demonstrate:

Slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(4-3)/(3-0)=1/3

Therefore, the gradient/slope is 1/3.
