In a linear (first-order) equation, it is the ratio of the change in y of a segment to the change in x of the same segment.

If the equation is in the form y = mx + b, m is the slope.

In a higher-order equation, the instantaneous slope is the slope of the tangent line intersecting a particular point along the curve.
