if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
there are infinite possibilities
slope is rise over run, or change in y over change in x
y = mx + b b is where the line crosses the y axis. m is the slope

The slope of a line perpindicular to y=-2x+5 is 1/2 because a perpindicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope.
The slope of a line and the perpendicular to that line, when multiplied together, give -1. So, if the first line has a slope of 1/21, the second has a slope of -21.
saying the horse's legs are down may mean that the horse is lame, or that the slope of the pasterns is incorrect.
If the curve is on the xy-plane, finding an expression for dy/dx will give you the slope of a curve at a point.

The slope is -1; the 3 would give us the y-intercept
slope is rise over run, or change in y over change in x
