It is the change in y divided by the change in x.

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."
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.
