SLOPE OF A LINE
Slope indicates the direction of the line. It is usually denoted by the letter “m”.
Slope is also defined as the ratio of the directed change in vertical distance to the
corresponding change in horizontal distance as the point moves along the line in either,
where ∆𝒙 = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙𝟏 called the run and ∆𝒚 = 𝒚𝟐 − 𝒚𝟏 called the rise.
