What is the formula for calculating the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

If a graph shows a constant slope, what does that imply about the relationship between the variables?

Back

It implies a linear relationship where the rate of change is consistent.
