You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope measures how fast the value of a function changes with respect to the x-value or independent variable. The slope is given as where the Greek letter delta represents the change (change in y over change in x). For a linear function in the form y = mx + b, m is the slope. For non-linear functions there is an operator called the "derivative" which essentially measures the slope of two points on a curve that are infinitely close together.
