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).
Can a slope be a fraction?
yes, slope can be fraction. It's like -1, -1/3 , 4/5 , 4 and so on.
When calculating slope which variable goes on top of the fraction?
The equation for slope = rise / run
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.
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 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.
The slope of line a is 3 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to a?
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.
Can a slope be a fraction?
yes, slope can be fraction. It's like -1, -1/3 , 4/5 , 4 and so on.
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 is the slope of the line 8x14?
If that is 8x + 14 then the slope is 8. Or, written as a slope 8/1
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.
