Slope is the steepness (or not) of a line. The way you find slope is with the equation (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) = M (M is the symbol used for slope). Now if you had the two points (2,3) and (4,1) the way you would find the slope between them is to take the two Y's 3 and 1 and put them on top of the equation. Then you would take the two X's 2 and 4 and put them on the bottom and the you would have (1-3)/(4-2). The order of the Y's and X's doesn't matter, so long as you don't mix them up. Then when you simplify the equation, your answer is -1, so the slope between those two points is -1. The only two situation where slope can be rather strange is when the line is either completely vertical or horizontal. In the case of a vertical, there is no slope, so you would put no solution. As for the horizontal, the slope is zero.

What is the slope intercept form in math?
It is a straight line equation as for example when y = 3x+6 then 3 is the slope and 6 is the y intercept.
How can you tell if two equations are parallel?
if they have the same slope If two linear equations are inconsistent - that is, have no solution, then the graphs would be parallel and have the same slope if their slope is defined. Example: x + y = 1 x + y = 2 Example with no slope: x = 1 x = 2
What is the measure of two intersecting perpendicular line?
If you are asking for slope, the slope of one line is m, the slope of the other is -1/m. For example, if the slope for one line is 5, the slope of the other line is -1/5 = -0.2 . (Math Open Reference)

Lines that have the same slope are said to be parallel lines.
