What does the slope of a line represent in a linear relationship?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change between the two variables. It indicates how much the dependent variable (y) changes for a unit change in the independent variable (x).

What is a constant rate of change?

Back

A constant rate of change means that the change in the dependent variable is consistent for equal changes in the independent variable. This is characteristic of linear relationships.
