| Hey Sir...Do you know what Slope is? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Ya, why? The slope of a line shows its steepness or incline. A greater slope value indicates a steeper slope. | |

| Ok, well...Do you know what the difference between Positive, Negative, and Zero Slopes? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I can guess...When y increases as x increases, the line slopes upwards to the right, which that is positive. Whereof the complete opposite would be negative. | |

 | |  |
| Yes, and "Zero Slope" could be defined as basically no slope, when the line is neithergoing in the up or down direction. How do we calulate slope? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Oh that's easy. You need to coordinates on a line. When you have them you just do y2-y1 divided by x2-x1, which that then gives you m, for m equals slope. | |
