  2. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    The coefficient a is called the slope of the function and of the line (see below). If the slope is a = 0 {\displaystyle a=0} , this is a constant function f ( x ) = b {\displaystyle f(x)=b} defining a horizontal line, which some authors exclude from the class of linear functions. [ 3 ]

  3. Heun's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heun's_method

    Assuming that the quantity (,) on the right hand side of the equation can be thought of as the slope of the solution sought at any point (,), this can be combined with the Euler estimate of the next point to give the slope of the tangent line at the right end-point. Next the average of both slopes is used to find the corrected coordinates of ...

  4. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    A non-vertical line can be defined by its slope m, and its y-intercept y 0 (the y coordinate of its intersection with the y-axis). In this case, its linear equation can be written = +. If, moreover, the line is not horizontal, it can be defined by its slope and its x-intercept x 0. In this case, its equation can be written

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  6. Simple linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

    This shows that r xy is the slope of the regression line of the standardized data points (and that this line passes through the origin). Since − 1 ≤ r x y ≤ 1 {\displaystyle -1\leq r_{xy}\leq 1} then we get that if x is some measurement and y is a followup measurement from the same item, then we expect that y (on average) will be closer ...

  7. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    Slope may still be expressed when the horizontal run is not known: the rise can be divided by the hypotenuse (the slope length). This is not the usual way to specify slope; this nonstandard expression follows the sine function rather than the tangent function, so it calls a 45 degree slope a 71 percent grade instead of a 100 percent. But in ...

  9. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    By doing the above step, we have found the slope of the line that is tangent to the solution curve at the point (,). Recall that the slope is defined as the change in y {\displaystyle y} divided by the change in t {\displaystyle t} , or Δ y Δ t {\textstyle {\frac {\Delta y}{\Delta t}}} .
