Yes, slope can be written as a whole number instead of a fraction if the slope is a whole number. In slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), the slope (m) represents the rate of change between two variables. If the slope is a whole number, it can be written as a whole number without the need for a fraction. For example, a slope of 3 would be written as "3" rather than "3/1."

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).
slope is either a whole number or a fraction, but it cannot be both. It is what it is. For example, If slope is the fraction 1/2, that is the slope as a fraction and it is not a whole number
It is the change in y divided by the change in x.
yes, slope can be fraction. It's like -1, -1/3 , 4/5 , 4 and so on.
The equation for slope = rise / run
y=0x+6 simplified y=6 the number in front of the x is the slope. This is the form y=mx+b
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.
