Slope•is a number, which describes the steepness on the line
•usually a fraction
•that tells how a line slants
•comes in 4 “flavors”:
positive, negative, zero, no slope or undefined
•Finding slope or slant of a line ALWAYS read from left to right

Lines that slant downhillhave a NEGATIVE slope. Skiing down hill
