Livingood Slope from Tables/Graphs/Equations

The slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the change in vertical distance (rise) over the change in horizontal distance (run).

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, showing an upward trend.

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, showing a downward trend.

A zero slope indicates that there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes, resulting in a horizontal line.

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning the x-value does not change while the y-value does.

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

The slope is 3.

The slope is -2.

For every 3 units moved horizontally to the right, the line rises 4 units vertically.

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.
