The constant rate of change between two points on a line is called slope.
You can use any two points on a line to find its slope because the slope represents the rate of change between two points. By selecting two distinct points, you can measure the vertical change (rise) and the horizontal change (run) between them. The slope is calculated as the rise divided by the run, which remains constant for any two points on a straight line. This characteristic defines the linear relationship represented by the line.
The slope between any two points on a straight line is constant because a straight line represents a linear relationship between the two variables. This means that the rate of change remains consistent regardless of which two points you choose on the line. Mathematically, the slope is calculated as the change in the vertical direction (rise) over the change in the horizontal direction (run), and for a straight line, this ratio does not vary. Therefore, the slope remains the same for all pairs of points on that line.
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.
True. The slope of a line is constant, meaning it remains the same regardless of the two points chosen on the line. This consistency is what defines a linear relationship, where the change in the y-coordinate is proportional to the change in the x-coordinate. In contrast, the slope of a curve can vary at different points.
The run (not runs - which means diarrhoea) is the horizontal change between two points.

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.
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.
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).
