Form a right angle triangle under the slope and divide the base of the triangle into the height of the triangle.
It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes who introduced coordinate geometry that includes the slope of a straight line on the Cartesian plane.
The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane is called the x-axis, and the vertical number line on a coordinate plane is called the y-axis.
The equation is: y = mx+c whereas m is the slope of the line and c is the y interecept
Rise/Run (The rise of the slope divided by the run of the slope.)
In coordinate geometry, each point in the plane is identified by an ordered pair, (x,y) which are known as the coordinates of the point. The equation of any straight line in the coordinate plane can be written in the form y = mx + c so that the coordinates of each point on the line satisfies this equation (and the coordinates of a point outside the line doed not satisfies it). The equation in this form is known as the slope-intercept form. m is the slope and c is the intercept.
The steepness of a line can be measured as the slope of a line. The letter 'm' is used to denote the slope and it can be expressed as m= (y coordinate of A- y coordinate of B)/ (x coordinate of A- x coordinate of B). A and B are two points on the line.

In a slope intercept form of the equation of a straight line in the 2-dimensional coordinate plane.
It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes who introduced coordinate geometry that includes the slope of a straight line on the Cartesian plane.
The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane is called the x-axis, and the vertical number line on a coordinate plane is called the y-axis.
Another coordinate is needed to determine the slope of the line.
Rise/Run (The rise of the slope divided by the run of the slope.)

The length of a line between two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a Cartesian Plane is given by the formula: length = square root [ (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 ]
"The" vertical line is wrong; there are lots of vertical lines on a coordinate plane. In the usual x-y coordinate system, such a line has an equation of the form:x = a (for some constant "a"); for example: x = 3
