the slope tells you the angle to draw a line.
for example the slope 3/5 tells you that line line rises 3 units for every 5 units it moves across the x axis. this can be remembered by rise over run.

The slope of a line tells a person what the rate of change is for a certain amount of time. For instance, on a graph where distance is the X axis and time is the Y axis, the slope will tell the velocity, literally, distance/time.
Nothing particular. The graph of y = x2, for example, changes slope at each point on the graph.
The graph of the equationy = 2x + any numberis a straight line with a slope of 2.
For example, if the slope at a certain point is 1.5, you can draw a line that goes through the specified point, with that slope. The line would represent the slope at that point. If you want to graph the slope at ALL POINTS, take the derivative of the function, and graph the derivative. The derivative shows the slope of a function at all points.
A straight line graph with negative slope slants downward from left to right.
