The slope refers to the steepness of a line. It measures how much a line rises or falls for every unit it moves horizontally.
Rate of Change: This term refers to how quickly one quantity changes in relation to another.
Gradient: The gradient is another word for slope and represents the change in vertical distance divided by the change in horizontal distance.
Positive/Negative Slope: Positive slope indicates an upward direction, while negative slope indicates a downward direction.
