Slope is defined as the change in y (the dependent variable) over the change in x (the independent variable).
the slope
y=a+bx so the slope is b
The values of the slope of a line is a measure of the amount of change in the dependent (vertical) variable which accompanies a unit change in the ndependent (horizontal) variable.

A graph is constructed such that time (in hours) is the x-variable and distance (in miles) is the y-variable. If you plot the distance that a car travels on the graph traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour, what is the slope of the graph?
Slope is defined as the change in y (the dependent variable) over the change in x (the independent variable).
The slope of the trend line is the rate of change of the data. It is the ratio of the change of the dependent variable to the rate of change of the independent variable. Slope represents the value of the correlation.

slope can be represented by any variables, such that, the variable representing the slope is defined. by convention, mathematicians and mathematics books authors used and are using "m" as the variable for slope. (recommended to have further historical research on this matter)
the slope
The equation for slope = rise / run
y=a+bx so the slope is b
The values of the slope of a line is a measure of the amount of change in the dependent (vertical) variable which accompanies a unit change in the ndependent (horizontal) variable.
slope
It tells you how much one variable changes for a unit change in another variable.
