What are the units of a slope?
the slope is a ratio and really has no units.
Can the slope of a line be a fraction?
Of course. If the line rises 18 units for every 27 horizontal units,then its slope is 2/3 .
What does the mx in y equals mx plus b?
y=mx+b Y is the value on the vertical axis, the dependent variable. X is the value on the horizontal axis, the independent variable. m is the slope of the line. Slope is rise/run. The equation for slope is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). It describes how many units up or down the graph travels for every unit traveled to the right. (If it's written as a fraction, like 2/5, that means two units up for every five units right). b is the y-intercept. This is the y value when the x value is 0, when the line crosses the y-axis.
What is the slope of -4x2?
The slope changes as the value of x changes. For any point x, the slope is -8x.
Can slope and correlation be equal?
They can but the two are related when both are zero. Otherwise, it is like your weight and height having the same value (in some units).They can but the two are related when both are zero.

What is the difference between the slope and the y-intercept?
The slope is the value of m in which you "rise and run" point units The Y-intercept is the value in which X is zero

If a slope has a value of 18 this means the vertical change for the graph is 18 units What is the horizontal change for the graph?
Slope is equal to the change in y divided by the change in x (also known as "rise over run"). If a slope is 18 , then it "rises" 18 units, for every 1 unit of x.
Can the slope of a line be a fraction?
Of course. If the line rises 18 units for every 27 horizontal units,then its slope is 2/3 .

In a plot of absorbance vs concentration what does the slope represent?
The slope of absorbance vs concentration reptresents the value of εb, where ε is the absorbtivity with units of (L/mol cm) and b is path length measured in cm.
How do you find the slope intercept form for a scatter plot?
Draw a line of best fit through the plotted points which will give the y intercept. Draw a right angle triangle under the line which will be the triangles hypotenuse. Divide the vertical units of the triangle by the horizontal units which will give the value of the slope.
What does the slope of a trend line tell you about the relationship between two quantities?
If the slope of the trend line between variables X and Y is m, then an increase in value of 1 unit in X is associated with an increase of m units in the value of Y. The relationship is one of association, not of cause-and-effect.
What is the slope of a line that passes through a and b?
The slope is[ (y-value of 'b') - (y-value of 'a') ] / [ (x-value of 'b') - (x-value of 'a') ]
What does it mean if a slope is numerically a higher value than another slope what are some examples in the real world?
What does it mean if a slope is numerically a higher value than another slope
What does it mean when it says then interpret this slope as a rate of change?
It means express the slope along with its measurement units.
