if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
there are infinite possibilities
slope is rise over run, or change in y over change in x
y = mx + b b is where the line crosses the y axis. m is the slope

The most common mistake is to calculate the slope incorrectly by dividing the change in x by the change in y instead of dividing the change in y by the change in x. This mistake can result in an incorrect slope value.

The slope of a line perpindicular to y=-2x+5 is 1/2 because a perpindicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope.
The slope of a line and the perpendicular to that line, when multiplied together, give -1. So, if the first line has a slope of 1/21, the second has a slope of -21.
The slope of a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a flatter slope indicates a lower speed.
saying the horse's legs are down may mean that the horse is lame, or that the slope of the pasterns is incorrect.
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.

The slope is -1; the 3 would give us the y-intercept
slope is rise over run, or change in y over change in x
