In linear equations, the multiple of the x-term dictates the gradient of the graph when plotted. Thus y=3x has a gradient (or slope) of 3.
As it is the "multiple" of the x-term, "m" seems a sensible letter to use.

What is the meaning of the symbol delta equal to?
Delta as a mathematical symbol usually means "change". It's usually used the same way in physics and chemistry, though it's sometimes used in chemical equations to represent heat.
How are letters and symbols used in equations?
Letters and symbols are used in equations to represent quantities, sometimes known or unknown. For example the symbol π (pi) represents the constant 3.14… and is unchanging. X or Y in an equation represent unknown terms that may vary depending on the equation, and other variables in the equation. There are numerous examples of both symbols and letters used in mathematical equations, but almost always they are either referring to a known constant term that is more simply expressed as a symbol, or an unknown or general term yet to be concretely determined.
What is a dependent system?
A dependent system is defined as "a system of equations that has infinite solutions." It is an equation that is used in various mathematical situations.
What is the formula used to calculate slope?
the formula used to calculate a slope is: m=y2-y1/x2-x1
What does the m mean in slope?
This is true for many reson the answer is that it used to be called "module of slope" but now its just called slope.
What is the different between grade and degree?
The grade of an object is the actual incline or slope of a landform or constructed line. The degree of an object is what is used to measure that incline or slope in mathematical equations.
Equations are used to?
Equations are used to give a mathematical analysis of events or situations in the real world.
Is addition and subtraction examples of equations?
Addition and subtraction are mathematical processes. They can be used in equations, which are statements that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal, but they are not equations by themselves.
Which mathematical equations are used in astronomy?
Virtually all of them.
What is the meaning of the symbol delta equal to?
Delta as a mathematical symbol usually means "change". It's usually used the same way in physics and chemistry, though it's sometimes used in chemical equations to represent heat.
Which mathmaticians first used the symbol why?
"why" is not a mathematical symbol.
How do you use mathematical in a sentence?

Which best describes how equations are used in science?
Equations provide a mathematical model of how the universe works.
What mathematical symbol is used for the period of a wave?
The symbol is f, for frequency.
Is the mathematical symbol used for the period of a wave?
T
