Key:
m = slope
(x₁, y₁) coordinates of the first, lower point.
(x₂, y₂) coordinates of the second, higher point.
Answer:
In simple terms, slope is how steep a line is.
You can determine slope by:
[tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]
Here is the full formula for slope:
[tex]m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_1}[/tex]
