What is the Slope of a line that starts in quadrant 2 and ends in quadrant 4?
The slope is a negative number.
Does a line with a negative slope pass through the fourth quadrant?
yes
What is the formula for Perpendicular Slope?
Line a with a slope perpendicular to that of line b has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of line b's. So basically the negative reciprocal.
What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?
If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'
What is the slope of a perpendicular line is always?
The negative reciprocal of the slope of the line to which it is perpendicular.
What is the Slope of a line that starts in quadrant 2 and ends in quadrant 4?
The slope is a negative number.
Slope of a line that starts in quadrant 3 and ends in quadrant 1?
The slope is always positive A negative slope will always pass through quadrant II and IV
Does a line with a negative slope pass through the fourth quadrant?
yes
Is the slope of a line that passes through quadrant 3 supposed to be negative?
It can be positive, negative, or zero, depending where else the line passes through.
Can the slope of a line in quadrant III be negative?
Yes.. See related link for an example.
If one slope is -1 what is the slope of the perpendicular slope?
The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.
What is the formula for Perpendicular Slope?

What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?
If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'
Is the inverse of a line with positive slope a line with negative slope?
Never.
Is a slope of a line always positive?
No because the slope of a line can be positive or negative
What is the slope of a perpendicular line is always?
The negative reciprocal of the slope of the line to which it is perpendicular.
What is a line wxtending from the upper lift to the lower right has this type of slope?
The line has a negative slope (or negative gradient).When the angle between the line and the positive direction of Ox is obtuse then the slope is negative. Conversely, when the angle is acute, the slope is positive.
