Answer:

noun

1.

a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another; a rising or falling surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

steepness

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x)

step one: identify two points on the line

step two: select one to be (x1,y1) and the other to be (x2,y2)

step three: use the slope equation calulate slope

2x-3=8+7(+3)

2y-3(+3)=8x+7(+3)

2y=8x+10

----- --------

2y=8x+10

y=4x+5

m=4
