Question

What is slope and how is it determined from a graph?

Answer 1

slope is 'rate of change'
it is a measure of how 'steep' the graph is - in the graph below line A has a higher value for slope than line b - you can see it is 'steeper'

Answer 2

slope represents the direction and steepness of a line. To describe how to find the slope using a graph, I would have to have an example. Do you have a specific problem you need help with?

Answer 3

@MrNood you did a good job explaining slope. :)

Answer 4

It has a numerical value which can be calculated from 2 points on the line

it is known as 'change in y/change in x' or 'rise/run' or mathematically 'tan theta'

Answer 5

@MrNood is that how you determine it from a graph?
