How do you identify a negative and positive slope for the x and y axis?

You can use the formula x2 - y2 over x1 - y1 or you can use the formula: Rise over Run. If you use rise over run formula, you HAVE to make sure that you form a right triangle.

Is there a relationship between the sign positive or negative of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x axis?
yes, the slope of the line is the tangent of the angle
Is there a relationship between the sign positive or negative of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x-axis?
Yes.
What is a line with a positive slope?
A line with a positive slope is one that get higher (further up the y-axis) as it moves right along the x-axis.
How does a graph line with a steeper slpoe compare to one with a shallower slope?
Above the x axis, a steeper slope means more positive and therefore a faster rate of change of y with respect to x. This rate increases as the slope goes more and more away from the x axis. Below the x axis a steeper slope means more negative and therefore a faster rate of change of y with respect to x in the negative side. This rate increases as the slope goes more and more away from the x axis. For a distance vs. time graph. A steep positive slope means higher velocity. A steeper negative slope means higher velocity in the direction opposite to motion (declaration in a way).
How do you know if you have a negative or positive axis?
Negative is the bottom half and positive is the top

Is there a relationship between the sign of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x-axis?
Yes, there a relationship between the sign (positive or negative) of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x-axisWhen a line slopes up from left to right, it has a positive slope. This means that a positive change in y is associated with a positive change in x. The steeper the slope the greater the rate of change in y in relation to the change in x.When a line slopes down from left to right, it has a negative slope. This means that a negative change in y is associated with a positive change in x.
How do you know if you have a negative or positive axis?
Negative is the bottom half and positive is the top
Is the x axis positive?
No, it is negative, zero and positive.
What does a positive slope mean in a position versus time graph?
Assuming position is on the y axis and time is on the x axis, a positive slope means the position has increased over time.
What is the graph if the slope is negative?
If the slope is negative, or going downhill, then that means the graph will be a regular coordinate system (x and y axis). The only thing that is different is the direnction of the slope. A positive, or regular, slope formula, looks like this: y= 2x + 3, for example. Since there are no negative signs, the slope would be going upwards. But a negative slope, like you are talking about, would look either like this: y= -2x + 3 ( negative sign in front of 2 ). Remember: If the equation looks like this: y= 2x - 3, it would still be positive, because it is behind the 2x. Good luck!
How do you reflect over the y axis when your x axis is already negative?
The bit with the negative x-axis goes to the positive x-axis.
What does the positive or negative sign of a coordinate tell you about the location of the point?
Positive implies above the x-axis or to the right of the y-axis; negative implies below the x-axis or to the left of the y-axis.
