Step-by-step explanation

The slope of a straight line tells how the y-coordinates of the line change with respect to the x-coordinates. It tells how slant the line is.

For a straight line, the slope of the line can be obtained when the coordinates of two points on the line are known. If the coordinates are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is given as


Slope=m=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{Change\text{ in x}}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Hope this Helps!!!
