Answer:

3

Explanation:

The gradient is the ratio of "rise" to "run". Here, it appears the line crosses the y-axis at y = 1. It appears that it also crosses the grid intersection at (1, 4). This represents a "rise" (change in y) of (4 -1) = 3, for a "run" (change in x) of (1 -0) = 1. Then the gradient is ...

m = rise/run = 3/1 = 3

The gradient of the graph is 3.
