What word does the m stand for in slope-intercept form?

m stands for "modulus of slope"; modulus means "number used to measure." We now call the slope just simply "slope" but still use "m" to indicate it in the formula.


Who abbreviated m for slope?

M refers to the modulus of the slope.


What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?

The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.


How do you find slope altitude?

If the slope of a line is m then the slope of an altitude to that line is -1/m.


What is symbol of slope?

m = slope


What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?

Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m


What is the formula for the slope of a line in mathematics?

The formula for the slope of a line in mathematics is m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1. The slop of the line describes the steepness so a higher value slope means a steeper slope.


Given that the slope of a line is 1 3 what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?

If we call the slope m we can say that the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m In this case as the slope, m, is 13 the slope of the perpendicular is -1/13 or -0.07692307692


Why is the symbol for slope m?

slope = m = (∆y) / (∆x) = rise / run


What does m stand for in the equation y mx b?

In the equation ( y = mx + b ), the letter ( m ) represents the slope of the line. The slope indicates how steep the line is and the direction it is going; a positive slope means the line rises as it moves from left to right, while a negative slope means it falls. The slope is calculated as the change in ( y ) (vertical) divided by the change in ( x ) (horizontal) between two points on the line.


What is m in slope equation of a line?

It is the slope.


Why was m chosen for slope?

It is not documented why the letter m was chosen for slope. However, mathematician John Conway suggested that m could mean 'modulus of slope'.
