Rate can be the slope of a line when some variables are graphed. Ex: When graphing distance vs time for a moving object the slope of the line is the rate.
the steepness of the line is the slope of the line which is the rate of change; the steeper the slope, the faster the rate of change
the rate of change is related to the slope; the higher the slope, the higher the rate. If the line is vertical, that is infinite slope or infinite rate of change which is not possible
the rate of change on the line.

The slope of the trend line is the rate of change of the data. It is the ratio of the change of the dependent variable to the rate of change of the independent variable. Slope represents the value of the correlation.
The rate of change
slope
The slope of a line is rise over run. That is to say, how many units the line rises for every unit it travels laterally.
The instantaneous rate change of the variable y with respect to x must be the slope of the line at the point represented by that instant. However, the rate of change of x, with respect to y will be different [it will be the x/y slope, not the y/x slope]. It will be the reciprocal of the slope of the line. Also, if you have a time-distance graph the slope is the rate of chage of distance, ie speed. But, there is also the rate of change of speed - the acceleration - which is not DIRECTLY related to the slope. It is the rate at which the slope changes! So the answer, in normal circumstances, is no: they are the same. But you can define situations where they can be different.
The slope of each point on the line on the graph is the rate of change at that point. If the graph is a straight line, then its slope is constant. If the graph is a curved line, then its slope changes.
Why do we need to find the slope of a line? The slope of a line tells us how something changes over time. If we find the slope we can find the rate of change over that period.Why do we need to find the slope of a line?The slope of a line tells us how something changes over time.
