Is it a value?                     Yes

Is it the y-value?                 Not applicable

if so why the y-value?             Not applicable

I know it's defined like m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)      correct; good

but that doesn't make sense to me.                bad

 Why the change in y's and the changes in x's?    by the definition

I don't get it.                                   bad

And why are they being divided?                   by the definition

what does division do to them?                    It produces the value of the slope

Why does subtracting the y or x values give us their overall change?    It is obvious

Is y the change in height and x the change in length?                   You may interpret it like this

Or should I think of it like vertical distance / horizontal distance?   You may interpret it like this, too

I think I understand parts of slope, like slope 
can be thought of like an angle and at what angle 
it is shows how much it rises or falls over a certain region,           It is close, but the slope is not an angle. It is the tangent of the angle

I think? like a gradual increase or decrease?   It is correct

This is such a confuses concept for me.         It is so clear
How can slope be a value?                       By the definition
like how does that even work?                   Imagine the plot of a  distance as the function of time. Then the slope is the average speed.


Thank you                                       Please
