The document discusses slope and linear equations. It defines slope as the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change between two points on a line. Slope is also known as "rise over run". The document provides examples of finding the slope of lines from graphs and equations. It also gives two examples of using linear equations to model real-world scenarios involving cost as a function of an input variable. Finally, it introduces the slope-intercept form of a linear equation as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
