1. Change in y over change in x. For a linear equation, this is just m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) where (x1,y1), (x2,y2) are any two points on the line.
2. Evaluating the tangent of the angle relative to horizontal. For example, if a ramp has a 10 degree angle above horizontal, then the slope is tan(10).
3. For any differentiable function y in terms of x, dy/dx gives the expression for the slope of a tangent line through a point on y. If y = x3+1, then dy/dx = 3x2, and at the point (1,2), dy/dx = 3, so the slope at this point is 3. Finding the derivative of a function is very similar to finding the slope of two points on a function that are infinitely close together.
The formula for finding the slope of the line is this: m = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
1.) Triangle method 2.)Formula- Y2-Y1 -------- X2-X1 3.)two points
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The equation of slope intercept form is y=mx+b. This would be used in finding the slope of an object and is the most efficient way to date in doing so.
-- Measure how far the slope rises in 100-ft of horizontal distance.-- That number is the percent of slope, or the "grade".-- If you want the angle of the slope, divide the number by 100, and look upthe "arctangent" of the answer in a table or on a calculator.
You have two ways you could label the axes. Depending on how you choose to do it,the slope of the graph could be pounds per year, or it could be years per pound.
The answer depends on what information you have.
It is not defined.
(-6,-5) (4,4)
The three primary ways are: - writing an equation - drawing a diagram - reading a table
In a mathmatical sense, slope is important for finding velocity or a change in behavior of something. The slope correlates to a positive or negatve depending on the angle.
The formula for finding the slope of the line is this: m = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
You can make a formula of finding the slope of an area buy first finding the equation of the line using: y - y1 = m ( x - x1 ).

The slope of a line is the same thing as the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship.
If the curve is on the xy-plane, finding an expression for dy/dx will give you the slope of a curve at a point.
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
