Interpret the meaning of the slope in the context of a real-life scenario.

• The slope is the color of the line on the graph.

• The slope represents the temperature of the line on the graph.

• The slope represents the rate of change or steepness of a line on a graph.

• The slope is the number of points on the line graph.

Explain the relationship between the steepness of a line and its slope.

• The steepness of a line is directly related to its slope.

• The steepness of a line is only related to its y-intercept.

• The steepness of a line is inversely related to its slope.

• The steepness of a line is unrelated to its slope.
