The steepness of a straight line is described by its slope, which quantifies the vertical change (rise) relative to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line. Mathematically, the slope (m) is calculated as ( m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} ), where ( \Delta y ) is the change in the y-coordinates and ( \Delta x ) is the change in the x-coordinates. A positive slope indicates the line rises as it moves from left to right, while a negative slope indicates it falls. The greater the absolute value of the slope, the steeper the line.
