#m = (Delta y)/(Delta x) = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)##

Explanation:

Gradient is defined as the

#("vertical change")/("horizontal change")#

or #" "m = (Delta y)/(Delta x)#

Therefore use two points and find the vertical distance between them and the horizontal distance between them.

#m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#
