The Slope of a Line
A slope of a line is the conversion in y coordinate w.r.t. the conversion in x coordinate.
The net change in the y-coordinate is demonstrated by Δy and the net change in the x-coordinate is demonstrated by Δx.
Hence, the change in y-coordinate w.r.t. the change in x-coordinate is given by,
\(m = \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}} = \frac{Δy}{Δx}\)
Where, “m” is the slope of a line.
The slope of the line can also be shown by
\(tan θ = \frac{Δy}{Δx}\)

The equation for the slope of a line and the points are known to be a point-slope form of the equation of a straight line is given by:
\(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)
As long as the slope-intercept form the equation of the line is given by:
\(y = mx + b\)
Where, b is the y-intercept.
