In geometric terms, a line can have only one slope. if there is more than one slope, it is not a line, it is multiple lines or a second (or higher) order graphical representation of a function in two dimensional space.

Can a line have two slopes how or why not?
can a line have two slopes
What line segments on a position versus time graph is physically impossible a horizontal line a straight line that slopes to the right a straight line that slopes to the left?
a verticla line
Can one line have two slopes?
A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.
If two lines are perpendicular what do you know about their slopes?
one is the negative reciprocal of the other; that is if the slope of one line is 2, the other is -1/2
A number that describes how steep a line is?
These numbers are called slopes.
Can a line have two slopes how or why not?
can a line have two slopes
What type of slope does a line that slopes upward have?
A line that slopes to the right and up has a positive slope.
What line segments on a position versus time graph is physically impossible a horizontal line a straight line that slopes to the right a straight line that slopes to the left?
a verticla line
What are the slopes of perpendicular lines called?
Slopes of line perpendicular to the x-axis are undefined.
If the slope of a line is -2 What is the slope parallel to it?
-2. Slopes of parallel lines are the same. If the lines are different it is the intercedpt that is different.
How do slopes of perpendicular lines compare?
Slopes of perpendicular lines will be opposite reciprocals. This means that the slopes have opposite signs and that one is 1/ the other. For example, 2 and -1/2.
The slopes of perpendicular lines are?
They are the negative reciprocal of each other. Fo rexample, if a line has slope = +2, then the line perpendicular to it has slope -1/2
Can a line have two slopes why or why not?
Yes it can, but it would not then be a straight line but an angle.
Can one line have two slopes?
A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.
If two lines are perpendicular what do you know about their slopes?
one is the negative reciprocal of the other; that is if the slope of one line is 2, the other is -1/2
How can you know when a line is perpendicular?
They are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
How do you know if two line segments are parallel?
Their slopes are equal.
