Can slope be written as a whole number instead of a fraction?

Yes, slope can be written as a whole number instead of a fraction if the slope is a whole number. In slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), the slope (m) represents the rate of change between two variables. If the slope is a whole number, it can be written as a whole number without the need for a fraction. For example, a slope of 3 would be written as "3" rather than "3/1."

How do you find slope using rise and run in a picture?

The slope is the rise over the run, like a fraction. Rise is the numerator, run is the denominator. That gives you a fraction. Then just divide if you want a number.


What is the slope of the line that contains the points -24 and 49 enter your answer as a fraction in lowest terms?

A line must be in 2-dimensional space to have a slope. In 2-d space, each point is identified by an ordered pair of coordinates. The points in the question are not and so it is not possible to answer the question.


What if the coordinate is fraction in finding the slope of a line?

The same rules apply but it might help if you turn the fraction into a decimal.
