What is a slope
Slope describes the steepness of line in a coordinate plane.

How to find the slope You can find the slope of a line by
subtracting the coordinates of any two points on a line.

Some facts about slope The person that invented the slope
formula was Rene Descartes. The formula for slope is Y2-Y2 X1-X2

Examples of slope A slope is like a hill or mountain if u go up
a hill that is the positive slope. If you go down the hill that is the negative slope.

More about slope You can use slope to find the steepness of
a ramp. The steepness of a ramp is the ratio to the vertical change to the horizontal change. In math , slope is a number that describes the steepness of a line.

Slope The Slope is represented by the
variable of “m” 2x+m=8
