what is a slope? and explain how to do it.?

Answer 1

Slope is the measure of how steep a line is.

The equation of a line is y=mx+b

M is the slope.

You can measure the slope by seeing how many units up or down and to the right or left it is from one point in a line to another. You put the amount it goes up or down over the amount it goes right to left.

For example if a line has the points (7,6) and (4,3)

From point (4,3) it had to go up 3 to get to the point (7,6), 7-4 is 3. It goes to the right 3 since 6-3 is 3. the slope of this line is therefore 3/3 or 1. Which means that to get from one point in the line to another you must go up one unit then to the right one unit.

Answer 2

slope is steepness of a line or a curve, expressed as a number.
To find the slope, take two points, (x,y) and (x2,y2) [these 2s are subscripts): divide y2-y by x2 -x. It will give you a rational expression that you can reduce to an integer or leave as is.
Also, if you have an equation, y= something times x plus something, the 'something' multiplied times the x is the slope. It is usually explained as y=mx+b where m is the slope.
