What is Slope?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The slope of a line is the measure of how much that line inclines or declines away from the horizontal (x) axis. It represents the amount of rise in the line (change in y coordinates) over the amount of run in the line (change in x coordinates).
An m variable is typically used to represent slope. When calculating it, you need two points, each with an x and y coordinate. The formula is y2 minus y 1 divided by x2 minus x1. For example, if the two points are (2, -5) and (3, 1), you would need to plug them into the formula and solve as shown above.
To make sure your answer seems logical, plot the two points on your graph and connect with a line. If the line slants up and to the right, the slope is positive. If it slants down to the right, the slope is negative. The steeper the line, the larger the slope is.
