Slope of a line is here: |dw:1422839835753:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

|dw:1422839910893:dw|so as x going 5 units right y goes 3 units up. So that means that \(\large\color{slate}{ \Delta x }\) (the change in x) is 5. And that \(\large\color{slate}{ \Delta y }\) (the change in y) is 3. and slope (by definition) is \(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{ \Delta y}{\Delta x} }\)
