Question

What is slope? I am in math class and I don't understand. Also what types of slopes are there and what are they?

Answer 1

Slope is Rise/Run.

You can find the slope between two points with the equation \(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\).

Positive slope is when the line rises from left to right.

Negative slope is when the line declines from right to left.

No slope is when the line is horizontal.

Undefined slope is when the line is vertical.
