Step-by-step explanation: In algebra, we use the word slope to describe how steep a line is and slope can be found using the ratio rise/run between any two points that are on that line.
The ratio rise/run is the equal to the rate of change
or the change in y/change in x.
In algebra, the rate of change or the change in y/change in x or
the rise/run is also called the slope of a line.
