Interpreting Slope as a Rate of Change

Slope is one of the most important characteristics of a linear equation. We can use it to determine whether a linear function is increasing, decreasing, or constant, and we can also use it to graph linear functions quickly and easily. When a linear function represents a real-world application, the slope tells us important information about what is being modeled.
