Slope is the rise over the run, the distance up and down, divided by the distance side to side.

aka y=mx+b

We find math slope using some particular slope formula. by the help of this formula we can find math solutions.

"Slope" is the incline of a line on a coordinate plane. It can be found by taking two (x,y) points and subtracting the Y's and the X's, then dividing the Y difference by the X difference.

The slope, for a continuous and differentiable function y = f(x) is df/dx.

It may also be defined as the limit, as h tends to 0, of [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h

m= y2-y1

x2-x1 slope = y coordinate 2 - y coordinate 1 divided by x coordinate 2 - x coordinate 1
