Slope
Definition
Slope measures the steepness of a line. It is the ratio of vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run) between any two points on the line.
💡Example
For points (1, 2) and (4, 8): slope = rise/run = (8−2)/(4−1) = 6/3 = 2. This means for every 1 unit right, the line goes up 2 units.
