Answer 3

You deferentiate the equation :
It becomes :
Gradient / Slope =4x - 4
Gradient and slope are the same thing.

Answer 4

JadeEyes is assuming you are studying calculus and is correct
but if you are not in calculus then yummydum is correct
it does have a scale factor of 2 if you are studying transformations

Answer 5

it has a slope

Answer 6

and that is 2x-4 which is dy/dx
