The slope can be a fraction.
Slope is blah. Rate of change is blah.
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.

Yes, slope can be written as a whole number instead of a fraction if the slope is a whole number. In slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), the slope (m) represents the rate of change between two variables. If the slope is a whole number, it can be written as a whole number without the need for a fraction. For example, a slope of 3 would be written as "3" rather than "3/1."

No slope is undefined i.e. a vertical line slope of 0 is a horizontal line... i believe...

A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
For a line on a plane with coordinates, it means the rise/run. The formula is [difference in Y] / [difference in X] In other words, when put in a fraction format, the numerator is the number of spaces you go up, and the denominator is the number you go sideways to the right.
zero is horizontal, undefined is vertical
The slope is the rise over the run, like a fraction. Rise is the numerator, run is the denominator. That gives you a fraction. Then just divide if you want a number.
Yes, the slope can be a fraction; and can be less than one or negative.
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.

The run of a slope is the difference between x-coordinates (delta x or x2 - x1 ).
