Questioning also is a good skill. It must be clear and precise to get the apt answer which will be useful to each and every one.
With the nine words put in that way I guess that you mean the slope remains the same every where at all points in between two given points. Is that right?
Then the curve in between the two points will be a straight line.

Does a stream with a shallow or no slope have a high or low gradient?
low slope and gradient are the same thing - just measured in different units
What is the familiarity hypothesis?
When someone participates in the same recreational activity repeatedly because they are comfortable with what they already know. For example, when snow skiing, someone may continuously go down the same slope, why? Because they are comfortable with that slope. It is FAMILIAR to them.
Explain difference between internal link and external link?
Anchor Link - A hyperlink which points to a specific element on the same page.Internal Link - A hyperlink that links to another page on the same website.External Link - A hyperlink that links to another website.
What is a locus of points equidistant from a point?
A locus of points is just the set of points satisfying a given condition. The locus of points equidistant from a point is a circle, since a circle is just a set of points which are all the same distance away from the center
Why does slope matter?
I am assume that you mean the slope of a graph. We find the local maximum and minimum of a graph by comparing the slope (the tangent to the curve) at each point. When the graph is reaching either a maximum or minimum, the slope becomes zero. This finding-the-zero-slope task is normally done with computer programming or Excel. Another use is that the change in slope indicates a change in the rate. Let us say we are plotting the water level in a river to see when the dam will be breached. If the slope keeps increasing, you can predict, at the present rate of change, when the water will overflow. If the slope of water keeps decreasing, you can predict, at the same rate, when do we run out of water. Using the slope for prediction needs to be done carefully -- how much do you trust the data and how long can you project into the future without being unrealistic. The chartists use the slope to predict the trend of stock prices. The government uses the slopes of different sets of data to plan policies. And so on. ==========================
How does the slope from the distance vs time graph compare to the average speed?
The slope of the line between two points on the distance/time graph is the same as the average speed during the time interval between those points.
Does a vertical line have a slope of 0?
No. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. A vertical line has an undefined slope. Let's say you have a vertical line with the points (3,-2) and (3,4). The slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = (-2-4)/(3-3) = -6/0 = undefined. Notice that x is the same for both points. A line in which all points have the same value for x is a vertical line and as such has an undefined slope.
If three points are given then how do you prove that they are collinear?
0). Considering any TWO points, you can calculate the slope of the line between them like this: Slope = (difference between the y-values of the two points) divided by (difference between the x-values of the two points). Use this technique to examine your THREE points, like this: 1). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-2 and Point-1. 2). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-3 and Point-1. 3). If the two slopes are equal, then the three points all lie on the same line.
How can you find the slope of a line from the table of values from a line?
Pick any two points in the table. The slope of the line is(change in the y-value from one point to the other)/(change in the x-value from the same point to the other)
How do you find the slope of a line from its graph what is the formula for m?
The slope of a line is the rise divided by the run. In other terms, if, X = the horizontal distance between two points on a line and Y = the vertical distance between the same points, then m = Y/X
How does the slope differ from average rate of change?
They are the same for a straight line but for any curve, the slope will change from point to point whereas the average rate of change (between two points) will remain the same.
How many points of intersection are there If two lines have the same slope and the same y-intercepts?
If both lines have the same slope and the same y-intercept, they're the same line. So, infinite intersection points, I guess.
Are the points 1 2 15 -40 and -10 35 collinear?
Check whether the slope between point #1 and point #2 is the same as the slope between point #2 and point #3. If it is, then they are collinear.
How do you do equations and graphs for slope?
The equation for the slope between the points A = (x1, y1) and B = (x2, y2) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), provided x1 is different from x2. If x1 and x2 are the same then the slope is not defined.
What is the difference between rise and run in the formula of slope?
The rise is the difference between the ordinates (vertical values) of two points on a line whereas the run is the difference between their abscissae (horizontal values) of the same two points.
Is slope the same as initial value?
No, slope and initial value are not the same. The slope refers to the steepness or incline of a line on a graph, whereas the initial value represents the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
Do intersecting lines have the same slope?
Intersecting lines NEVER have the same slope. However, if the lines are identical, meaning all their points are the same, then they will, of course, have the same slope as well as everything else. On the other hand, parallel lines have the same slope, but they do not share a single point.
