You can calculate the slope as: (difference in y-coordinates) divided by (difference in x-coordinates)
53/6 = 85/6
84
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
To find the slope between two points: slope = change_in_y/change_in_x Thus for the points (4, 5) and (6, 8), the slope between them is given by: slope = (8-5)/(6-4) = 3/2 = 1½ = 1.5
Slope is blah. Rate of change is blah.
