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.

Quadrants result when a coordinate plane is divided by its axes in fours.
The coordinate axes.
The coordinate plane is divided into four quarters by the axes. These are the four quadrants.

First, a coordinate. A coordinate is a number. It labels a point on a line.Second, a coordinate axis is a line with coordinates.to label a point in a plane (a flat surface), we need more than one coordinate axis, and we place a second at right angles to the first.Those axes are called rectangular coordinate axes, because they are at right angles to one another. The coordinates on them are called rectangular coordinates. They are also called Cartesian coordinates.
