When you have 2 points on a line on a graph the slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. In math, slope refers to the measure of how steep a line is and is represented by the ratio of the change in the vertical coordinate to the change in the horizontal coordinate between any two points on the line. The algebra section allows you to expand, factor or simplify virtually any expression you choose. Slope is a measure of how steep a line is and tells you how much the line rises (vertical change) compared to how much it runs (horizontal change) between two points. The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line The slope corresponds to the inclination of a surface or a line in relation to the horizontal
Slope or gradient of a line describes the direction and the steepness of a line Slope can be expressed in angles, gradients or grades Sangle = angle (rad, degrees (°)) x = horizontal run (m, ft.) y = vertical rise (m, ft.) It tells you how much y changes for a given change in x A positive slope rises from left to right, a negative slope falls, and a zero slope indicates a horizontal line. Slope is essentially the change in height over the change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as rise over run. it has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads.
