A steep hill has a greater slope than a flat plain. What does the slope of the line on a graph describe?

The slope of a line on a graph describes how "steep" the curve is by using the rise divided by the run (y=mx+b).  The slope on the line graph usually represents how much of an increase or decrease is occurring per each unit
