yes, slope can be fraction. It's like -1, -1/3 , 4/5 , 4 and so on.

Can slope be written as a whole number instead of a fraction?
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).
When calculating slope which variable goes on top of the fraction?
The equation for slope = rise / run
What is the slope written as a fraction?
It is the change in y divided by the change in x.
The lines below are parallel If the green line has a slope of -1 what is the slope of the red line Enter your answer as an integer or fraction in lowest terms?
1/2 on apex!
How do you solve slope and equations?
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.
How do you find the slope when you have a fraction?
The slope can be a fraction.
Is it possible to have a fraction for your slope?
Yes, the slope can be a fraction; and can be less than one or negative.

Can you have an improper fraction for slope of a line?
Why not? m=4/3 is a perfectly good slope
When calculating slope which variable goes on top of the fraction?
The equation for slope = rise / run
What is the slope of a line in degree measure rather than a fraction?
It is simply the arctan transformation of the fraction.
How do you find slope using rise and run in a picture?
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.
What if the coordinate is fraction in finding the slope of a line?
The same rules apply but it might help if you turn the fraction into a decimal.
What is the slope written as a fraction?
It is the change in y divided by the change in x.
How do you find the slope-intercept of a fraction?
Y= -2/3x -12
Can a slope intercept form have a fraction as the y intercept?
Yes
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 .
