To calculate the slope of a line, we use a ratio that compares the change in y (the rise) to the corresponding change in x (the run).

So, m = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = Rise/run, where the change in x cannot be 0.

If m > 0, the line is rising from left to right.

If m < o, the line is falling from left to right.

If m = 0, the line is a horizontal line. This means that the change in y is 0.

If the line is vertical, this means that the change in x is 0, and since we cannot divide by 0, the slope of a vertical line is undefined.
