Slope is the ratio of the rise over the run of a linear equation; the degree of steepness of a graph at any point.
The word slope refers to a surface that has one side which is higher than the other. Slope means to be inclined from a horizontal or vertical line or to slant up or down.
supplycurve is negative slope in decreasing cost industry
y=mx+b where m=slope; b= y-intercept
The formula for the slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept. The slope (m) is the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between any two points on the line. The y-intercept (b) is the value of y where the line intersects the y-axis. By using this formula, you can easily graph a linear equation and determine its slope and y-intercept.

A change in the slope of a budget line is solely the result of a change in the consumer preference between two goods (A&B) given the cosumer's money income.
X=5 is a vertical line, so it has no slope. When I say it has no slope, I don't mean the slope is 0, I mean the slope is nonexistent.
What does it mean if a slope is numerically a higher value than another slope
If you mean y = 12x then the slope of the line is 12
This is true for many reson the answer is that it used to be called "module of slope" but now its just called slope.
a downward slope.
If you mean y = 12x then the slope of the line is 12
If you mean y = 11x then the slope is 11
If you mean: (2, 3) and (3, 6) then the slope works out as 3
Slippery slope means that you are doing something that will possibly have unacceptable consequences.
If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
If you mean points of (1, 5) and (-1, -1) then the slope works out as 3
