It stands for delta of y divided by delta of x (written as) ∆y/∆x Or in other words. A change in Y divided by the change in X.

Sounds like you're doing differentials. There's probably a better place to ask this question if you need help with Calculus. I would try to explain but I struggled with this in school and i don't want to explain it wrong and leave you worse off. Maybe try Kahn Academy? If that's still a thing.
