Use slope of a line
The slope of a line is a measure of how steep or slanted the line is. It represents the rate at which the y-values change with respect to the x-values. The slope can be positive, negative, zero, or undefined, depending on the direction of the line.
The slope of a line can be calculated by finding the change in y divided by the change in x between two points on the line. The formula for calculating the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
The slope of a line can provides information about the direction of the line and how steep it is. A positive slope indicates a line that rises as x-values increase, while a negative slope indicates a line that falls as x-values increase. Zero slope represents a horizontal line, and an undefined slope represents a vertical line.
