no one cares

The fact that the question was asked is an indication that at least one person cares. In fact, it has been asked before. So just because you (original answerer) do not care does not mean that others do not.

"M" stood for the Modulus of slope.

Why is the slope in the equation y equals mx plus b written as m and not s?

You can call it s if you want to but m has been the standard - it stands for "modulus" and is commonly used to indicate slope


Why does m represent the slope and s doesnt?

Because of the Slope-Intercept equation. The model of any line can be described by the formula y=mx+b. The m is a number that represents the slope of a line. Whoever discovered the equation chose m instead of s. Probably because s usually represents the summnation of a series of numbers, so the mathemetician chose m to prevent confusion.


What is the value and units of a slope?

The value of a slope represents the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship, typically calculated as the "rise" over the "run." In mathematical terms, if (y) is plotted against (x), the slope (m) is given by (m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}). The units of the slope depend on the units of the variables involved; for example, if (y) is measured in meters and (x) in seconds, the slope would have units of meters per second (m/s).


What is the equation of the line that contains the hypotenuse of RST?

To determine the equation of the hypotenuse of triangle RST, you need the coordinates of points R, S, and T. Once you have these coordinates, you can calculate the slope of the line connecting the two points that form the hypotenuse. The equation can then be expressed in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) or point-slope form (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)), where (m) is the slope and ((x_1, y_1)) is a point on the line. Please provide the coordinates of points R, S, and T for a specific equation.
