What is the difference between a whole number slope and a fraction slope?

The only difference is that when a slope is expressed as a whole number, ∆x (changes in x-coordinates) is always one unit.
For example,
m = 3 = 3/1 = ∆y/∆x
m = -1/5 = ∆y/∆x
m = 7/6 = ∆y/∆x

How do you find the slope when you have a fraction?
The slope can be a fraction.
What is the difference between rate of change and slope?
Slope is blah. Rate of change is blah.
What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
What is the difference between a slope and rate of change?
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.
What is the slope between (5-3) and (8-5)?
Points: (5, -3) and (8, -5)Slope: -2/3
Can slope be written as a whole number instead of a fraction?
Only if it happens to BE a whole number. As you probably know, you can't "convert" a fraction to a whole number, without losing precision. But the slope may well happen to be a whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, -1, etc. (or close enough to a whole number).
How do you find the slope when you have a fraction?
The slope can be a fraction.
What is the difference between slope of 0 and no slope?
No slope is undefined i.e. a vertical line slope of 0 is a horizontal line... i believe...
What is the difference between rate of change and slope?
Slope is blah. Rate of change is blah.
What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
What does slope mean in math?
For a line on a plane with coordinates, it means the rise/run. The formula is [difference in Y] / [difference in X] In other words, when put in a fraction format, the numerator is the number of spaces you go up, and the denominator is the number you go sideways to the right.
How do you find slope using rise and run in a picture?
The slope is the rise over the run, like a fraction. Rise is the numerator, run is the denominator. That gives you a fraction. Then just divide if you want a number.
What is the difference between a line that has a zero slope and a line that has a undefined slope?
zero is horizontal, undefined is vertical
Is it possible to have a fraction for your slope?
Yes, the slope can be a fraction; and can be less than one or negative.
What is the difference between a slope and rate of change?
Depends. Slope of tangent = instantaneous rate of change. Slope of secant = average rate of change.
What is the slope between (5-3) and (8-5)?
Points: (5, -3) and (8, -5)Slope: -2/3
What is the difference between positve and negative correlation?
Positive correlation has a positive slope and negative correlation has a negative slope.
