It is the change in y divided by the change in x.
Only if it happens to BE a whole number. As you probably know, you can't "convert" a fraction to a whole number, without losing precision. But the slope may well happen to be a whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, -1, etc. (or close enough to a whole number).
yes, slope can be fraction. It's like -1, -1/3 , 4/5 , 4 and so on.
The equation for slope = rise / run
The slope is the rise/over run of a line. The equation of a line is usually written in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you can take two points on a line, find how much the line goes up (or down) between the two, and divide it by how much the lines moves to the right. Usually the slope is left in the simplest fraction form.
1/2 on apex!

Yes, the slope can be a fraction; and can be less than one or negative.
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.

Why not? m=4/3 is a perfectly good slope
The equation for slope = rise / run
It is simply the arctan transformation of the fraction.
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.
The same rules apply but it might help if you turn the fraction into a decimal.
If that is 8x + 14 then the slope is 8. Or, written as a slope 8/1
Y= -2/3x -12
