Question

ok so umm Why is slope also called the "rate of change"?

Answer 1

Slope is basically the rise over the run of a line.
So as you progress upwards/downwards/left/right a unit you get a change.
The slope depicts how many units you go up,down,left,or right.
Hence the rate of change.

Answer 2

For example, you have y = 4x + 2.
The slope is 4/1 or just 4, and the y-intercept of the line is 2.
So, you would start at the y-intercept of 2, and go up 4 and right one.
Make sense?..
