Question

What is a slope in math terms?

Answer 1

Slope:

• The slope of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.
• If $y=mx+c$ is the equation of a straight line, then $m$ is the slope of the line and $c$ is the constant.

• The slope of a line can be calculated by the angle which made the straight line with the positive $x$axis.
• The slope of the line if the line made an angle $\theta$ with the positive $x$axis is $m=\tan \left(\theta \right)$.
