What is Slope?
Slope (also called gradient) is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of a line. It is calculated by finding the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between any two distinct points on the line.

Pro Tips
A positive slope means the line goes up as you move left to right.
A negative slope means the line goes down.
A slope of zero means the line is horizontal.
An undefined slope means the line is vertical.

Fun Facts
"In some countries, the letter 's' or 'g' is used for slope instead of 'm'."
"The incline of a road is often expressed as a percentage 'grade' (Slope × 100)."
