What is the definition of the slope inside a graph?

The slope is defined as the proportion of both the vertical difference of two points, known as the rise, towards the horizontal change between those same two points, known as the run.

How do you calculate slope?

Calculate the values of two line points. Determine the difference in y-coordinates between these two locations (rise). Calculate the x-coordinate distinction between these two locations (run). Divide the x-coordinate variation (rise/run or slope) by the y-coordinate difference.

According to the given data:

Slope(m) = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

so,

m for x

3.333333 for 2.9

3.030303 for 2.99

3.003003 for 2.999

3.00030003 for 2.9999

2.727272 for 3.1

2.90297 for 3.01

2.997002 for 3.001

2.999700 for 3.0001

this shows that the  slope m for the required x.
