the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies 5 \\\\\\ \begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{5}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-5=5x-10\implies y = 5x-5
