The slope of a graph provides general information about a graph. It tells you how much the y value of the graph increases (or decreases, if the slope is negative) for a given increase in x value.
if you look at the general equation of a graph y = a x + b
the value "a" represents the slope and the "b" value represents the value of y when
x = 0.
When the graph is not a straight line, the discussion gets more complicated, however the slope still describes changes in the value of the graph (you have to use calculus for this situation.)

How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?
You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.
What are the function of agar slopes?
function of agar slopes
What are precipitous slopes?
Slopes that are dangerously high and/or steep.
Have slopes that are the same?
same slopes = parallel lines
Can a line have two slopes how or why not?
can a line have two slopes
