To put it in the simplest form, a slope in a co-ordinate system is the measurement of a line. In finding the slope of a given line, you can describe and calculate its incline or steepness.

To find the slope of any line, a given and proper formula should be followed:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m being the slope of the line

(x2, y2) being the co-ordinates of the second point on the line

(x1, y1) being the co-ordinates of the first point on the given line.

Note that 'a' can also represent the slope.
