A slope is a mathematical expression used on graphs.

y=mx+b

The m in y=mx+b means slope.

You have x and y on a graph, x is your slope and y is your y-intercept.

The b in y=mx+b means y intercept.

The steepness of a hill is called a slope. The same goes for the steepness of a line. The slope is defined as the ratio of the vertical change between two points, the rise, to the horizontal change between the same two points, the run. The slope of a line is usually represented by the letter m.
