The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness or incline. It is defined as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.
The slope of a line can be calculated from a graph by selecting two points on the line, determining the rise and run between them, and calculating the ratio of the rise to the run.
In an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, the coefficient of x (m) represents the slope of the line.
The slope of a line can also be found from a table of values by selecting two points and calculating the slope using the formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
