The gradient between point A and point B is 1,000 ft/mi.

The given parameters;

  • distance between point A and point B = 0.24 mile
  • elevation of point A = 1,560 feet
  • elevation of point A = 1,800 feet

The gradient between the two point A and point B, is the slope of the two points given.

[tex]slope = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \\\\slope = \frac{1,800 \ ft \ - \ 1,560 \ ft}{0.24\ mile} \\\\slope = 1,000 \ ft/mi[/tex]

Thus, the gradient between point A and point B is 1,000 ft/mi.
