What is Slope?

The slope of a line is a measure of how steep the line is. It represents the rate of change between two points on a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run).

Slope Formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Where m is the slope, and (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are two points on the line.

Understanding Slope Values

Positive Slope

Line rises from left to right (m > 0)

Negative Slope

Line falls from left to right (m < 0)

Zero Slope

Horizontal line (m = 0)

Undefined Slope

Vertical line (division by zero)
