Slope Description

Slope is the measure of steepness of a line, or a section of a line. You are able to find the slope of a line by the coordinates of the two points that lie on the line, which will be going into the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Another way you are able to find the slope is using (rise / run), so how much further up the point is and the amount over it is.
