Hi everybody

A basic source of confusion here. Can anybody explain to me why the gradient in quadrant 4 is positive?

I think your Y axis is reversed? Up Y+, Down -Y
Just a wild guess...

Gradient is typically defined as dY / dX

Quadrant 1: -7 / 5 = -1.4 (Y decreases as X increases) Negative gradient

Quadrant 4: 9 / 4 = 2.25 (Y value increases from -11 to -2 as x changes from 14 to 18) Positive gradient

It is misleading as the Y axis is inverted.
