The vertical change in a relation to slope?
Rise
Why can't a vertical line be used to represent rate of change?
the rate of change is related to the slope; the higher the slope, the higher the rate. If the line is vertical, that is infinite slope or infinite rate of change which is not possible
The ratio of a line's vertical change to its horizontal change?
the slope
What is the shape of a line with an infinite slope in economics?
Slope is the change in y (vertical dimension) with the change in x (horizontal dimension). On a Cartesian coordinate system, the slope is equal to infinity for change in x = 0, or a vertical line.
What is the ratio of a vertical change to the corresponding horizontal change of a line?
Slope.
The vertical change in a relation to slope?
Rise
What does the slope mean on a line graph?
Rate of change of the "vertical" variable in relation to the "horizontal" variable.
Vertical change is called the what?
Slope
What happens when the slope is 3 over 0?
If the slope is 3/0 then the line is vertical (as there is no change in x for some change in y).
What is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change?
The Slope
What is is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change?
The Slope
Some lines have no slope?
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).

The ratio of a line's vertical change to its horizontal change?
the slope
Meaning of the slope as a rate of change?
The slope is the ratio of rise over the run. The rise is the change in the vertical distance.The run is the change in the horizontal distance.So the slope is the ratio of two changes, horizontal divided by vertical.
What is the shape of a line with an infinite slope in economics?
Slope is the change in y (vertical dimension) with the change in x (horizontal dimension). On a Cartesian coordinate system, the slope is equal to infinity for change in x = 0, or a vertical line.
What is term for the ratio of vertical change over horizontal change?
the term for the ratio of vertical change over horizontal change is slope
