Slope Notes PDF

1) Slope represents the rate of change or steepness of a line. It is calculated as the rise over the run between two points on a line. 2) To find the slope, you calculate the change in y-values (rise) and the change in x-values (run) between two points, and divide the rise by the run. 3) Slope can be found using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where the subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the x- and y-coordinates of the two points.
