It's the gradient, or the steepness, of a linear function. It is represented by 'm' in the linear formula y=mx+b.
To find the slope of a line, pick to points. The formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

The formula for the slope of a line in mathematics is m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1. The slop of the line describes the steepness so a higher value slope means a steeper slope.
In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change.
then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
Natural logarithms are logarithms to base e, where e is the transcendental number which is roughly equal to 2.71828. One of its properties is that the slope (derivative) of the graph of ex at any point is also ex.
