The constant rate of change between two points on a line is called slope.
To find the unit rate or constant of proportionality from a graph, identify two points on the line that represents the proportional relationship. Calculate the change in the y-values (output) and the change in the x-values (input) between these two points. The constant of proportionality is then found by dividing the change in y by the change in x, resulting in the slope of the line. This slope indicates the unit rate of the relationship.
The run (not runs - which means diarrhoea) is the horizontal change between two points.
A line is the locus of points such that the gradient (slope) between that point and one fixed point in the plane is a constant. Technically, that definition does not include a vertical line because its gradient is not defined! You could get around that this by requiring that either the gradient is a constant or, if it is undefined, then the inverse gradient (dx/dy) is constant.
The tangent line is the instantaneous rate of change at a point on a curve. The secant line crosses a curve twice at points A and B, representing the average rate of change between those two points.
The ratio of the rise to the run between any two points on a line is known as the slope of the line. It is calculated by taking the difference in the y-coordinates (rise) and dividing it by the difference in the x-coordinates (run). Mathematically, this is expressed as ( \text{slope} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} ). This ratio remains constant for a straight line, indicating a uniform rate of change.

No
The slope.
yea
It is the fact that their coordinates are not the same.
vertical change to the horizontal change between any two points on the line. study island.
That's called the line's slope.

You measure the change in the vertical direction (rise) per unit change in the horizontal direction (run). The rate of change is constant between A and B if AB is a straight line. Take any two points, A = (xa, ya) and B = (xb, yb) then the average rate of change, between A and B = (yb- ya)/(xb- xa).
The tangent line is the instantaneous rate of change at a point on a curve. The secant line crosses a curve twice at points A and B, representing the average rate of change between those two points.
To determine the spring constant from a graph, you can calculate it by finding the slope of the line on the graph. The spring constant is equal to the slope of the line, which represents the relationship between force and displacement. By measuring the force applied and the corresponding displacement, you can plot these points on a graph and calculate the spring constant by finding the slope of the line that connects the points.
