A rate of change is called a slope when it describes the steepness or inclination of a line on a graph, typically in the context of linear equations. Specifically, it refers to the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on a line. In mathematical terms, the slope is often represented as ( m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} ). This concept is fundamental in calculus and algebra, where it helps analyze how one variable changes in relation to another.

What is the rate of change of a line called?
slope
A word for a constant rate of change?
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.
What is the part of the slope intercept form that represents the rate of change?
y=mx +b is the equation for slope intercept form. y = the output of the equation m = the slope x = the input into the formula b = the y-intercept The slope represents the rate of change. This is because for every input, or x, you put into the equation, is changed by m. So the M portion of this equation would be the rate of change.
What is slope and how does it relate to rate?
Rate can be the slope of a line when some variables are graphed. Ex: When graphing distance vs time for a moving object the slope of the line is the rate.
What does the slope graph tells?
The rate of change on that line. This is called the tangent and is used in the application of the derivative.
What is the rate of change of a line called?
slope
Why is the slope called the rate of change?
On a graph, the slope does tell you the rate of change of y with respect to x. If the slope is steep, that means that there is a high rate of change of y with respect to x. If the slope is shallow, then y is not changing that rapidly with respect to x.
Is rate of change the same as slope?
Yes, Rate of change is slope
A word for a constant rate of change?
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.
What is the constant rate of change This is a grade 7 question...?
what is "constant rate of change"I second that.-alixa constant rate of change is the m in Y=MxB 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 it can also be called a coefficent
What is the difference between a slope and rate of change?
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.
What is the part of the slope intercept form that represents the rate of change?
y=mx +b is the equation for slope intercept form. y = the output of the equation m = the slope x = the input into the formula b = the y-intercept The slope represents the rate of change. This is because for every input, or x, you put into the equation, is changed by m. So the M portion of this equation would be the rate of change.
What is the difference between rate of change and slope?
Slope is blah. Rate of change is blah.
What is slope and how does it relate to rate?

What does the slope graph tells?
The rate of change on that line. This is called the tangent and is used in the application of the derivative.
Is the rate of change between any two points on a line?
That's called the line's slope.
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
