Lesson#2 Concept of slope and formula for slope Q. What is Slope of line? Concept of slope. Rise and run Terms. More rise greater slope. More run smaller slope. SLOPE = Rise/Run It is also called gradient. Q. What is the Formula to find slope or gradient of a straight line joining two points? If a non-vertical and non-horizontal line "l" with inclination "a" passes through two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2), then the slope or gradient "m" of "l" is given by m=y2-y1/x2-x1 = tan a Introduction to Analytical Geometry Chapter No 4 Exercise No 4.3 Mathematics part 2
