Question

What does the slope formula mean

Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula is = rise/run or y2-y1/x2-x1

x1,y1 stands for the coordinates of the first point on the line

x2,y2 stands for the coordinates of the second point on the line

Answer 2

I honestly used google.

Explanation:

It means: In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the "slope-intercept form".
