In a mathmatical sense, slope is important for finding velocity or a change in behavior of something. The slope correlates to a positive or negatve depending on the angle.
As a coach driver, knowing the slope (or gradient) of a hill is very important for choosing the correct gear.
Slope is the characteristic of a line that gives the relationship between the position of one point on the line and the next point. If given two points it can be found using the formula y sub 2 - y sub 1 over x sub 2 - x sub 1. If you are given an equation in slope intercept form the slope is the value of m. If your are given an equation in standard form the slope is -a/b.In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line describes its steepness, incline, or grade. A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline.
Rene Decartes is the father of Analytical Geometry. He was a French Mathematician and theologian who is believed to have discovered the slope formula according to many experts. He was said to have provided a method to solve the problem of lines and slopes in mathematics by his prowess in Algebra and Geometry.The basic slope formula is y=mx+b while the more complex point-slope formula is y-yl=m(x-x1).
what is "constant rate of change"I second that.-alixa constant rate of change is the m in Y=MxB In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change it can also be called a coefficent
