Slope is the steepness (or not) of a line. The way you find slope is with the equation (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) = M (M is the symbol used for slope). Now if you had the two points (2,3) and (4,1) the way you would find the slope between them is to take the two Y's 3 and 1 and put them on top of the equation. Then you would take the two X's 2 and 4 and put them on the bottom and the you would have (1-3)/(4-2). The order of the Y's and X's doesn't matter, so long as you don't mix them up. Then when you simplify the equation, your answer is -1, so the slope between those two points is -1. The only two situation where slope can be rather strange is when the line is either completely vertical or horizontal. In the case of a vertical, there is no slope, so you would put no solution. As for the horizontal, the slope is zero.

What is the slope intercept form in math?
It is a straight line equation as for example when y = 3x+6 then 3 is the slope and 6 is the y intercept.
How can you tell if two equations are parallel?
if they have the same slope If two linear equations are inconsistent - that is, have no solution, then the graphs would be parallel and have the same slope if their slope is defined. Example: x + y = 1 x + y = 2 Example with no slope: x = 1 x = 2
What is the measure of two intersecting perpendicular line?
If you are asking for slope, the slope of one line is m, the slope of the other is -1/m. For example, if the slope for one line is 5, the slope of the other line is -1/5 = -0.2 . (Math Open Reference)
In math what is the graident?
gradient in math refers to the slope of a line
What is a perpendicular line referring to slope in math?
The slope of a perpendicular line is not defined.
Who is the founder of slope in math?
my nan The founder or father of math slope is Rene Descartes, he was the first person to bring about math slope.
Is a solution just a solution?
A solution is the answer to a problem. For example, in a math problem a solution is this: 5w=25 w= 5

it is the slope formula in the equation it is the slope formula in the equation
What is a perpendicular line referring to slope in math?
The slope of a perpendicular line is not defined.
Lines that have the same slope in math?
Lines that have the same slope are said to be parallel lines.
What does solution mean in math?
C ; solution means the answer to an addition problem in math .
What is the term for 'no solution' in math?
"no solution"
How do you find the slope in math?
we have to change the given equation to y=mx+b.here m is the slope
