Slope (Rise Over Run)

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run).

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend.

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward trend.

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line where there is no vertical change as the x-value changes.

An undefined slope occurs with a vertical line where the run is zero, leading to division by zero.

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

The slope is 4/1.

The slope is -3/2.

A line with a slope of 0 is horizontal.

A line with a slope of 1 rises 1 unit for every 1 unit it runs, creating a 45-degree angle with the x-axis.
