What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

What are the types of slope?

Back

1. Positive Slope: Line rises from left to right. 2. Negative Slope: Line falls from left to right. 3. Zero Slope: Horizontal line. 4. Undefined Slope: Vertical line.

How do you calculate slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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