★★☆☆☆Middle School
📖Definition
A measure of how steep a line is, calculated as the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change.
📐Formulas
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (Δ y)/(Δ x)
Slope of a line through two points
y = mx + b
Slope-intercept form of a line
m₁ · m₂ = -1
Condition for perpendicular lines
