Is slope a constant (because you always calculate rise divided by run) or is it a variable constant (because you can get different values for the slope when looking at different functions) but slope is not like pi which is always the same no matter what size the circle?
@EricBuffington
6 жыл бұрын
You are correct. Slope can, and usually is, different for different linear functions. In other words, two lines have two different slopes. But in a single linear equation, slope is a constant.
