What does slope describe?
the change of rise over run. a positive slope goes up and a negative slope goes down
A word for a constant rate of change?
In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change.
What equations correctly describe a line with a y intercept of 7?
The equation of a straight line in slope intercept form is y = mx + c, where y is the y coordinate of any point, x is the x coordinate of that point, m is the slope and c is the y intercept. Therefore, the equations that correctly describe a line with a y intercept of 7 would be: y = mx + 7. The individual slope would then have to be substituted into this equation.
What is the slope of a horizontial line?
The slope would be zero.In contrast, the slope of a vertical line would be infinite.
What would a graph that has a negative slope show?
It would have a downhill slope from left to right
If the velocity is constant describe th slope?
The slope of a time-distance chart would be a constant. The slope of a time-velocity chart would be 0.
How would you describe the slope of a graph showing changing speed?
The angle of the graphed slope changes with changes in speed.
How would yu describe the rise and the run for a slope of -2?
Negative or downwards
What does the dinominator of slope describe?
what is the slope between (3,2) and (5,4)
A car distance time graph is a straight line with a steep slope. How would you describe the car's speed?
If the slope is 'uphill' then the car is going faster
What does slope describe?
the change of rise over run. a positive slope goes up and a negative slope goes down
Describe a situation in which point-slope form would be more useful than slope-intercept form?
You use point-slope form to find the equation of a line if you only have a point and a slope or if you are just given two point. Usually you will convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form to make it easier to use.

What relationship does the slope of the line describe?
it relates the relative steepness of a line.
Find the slope of the graph and describe what it means in the context of this problem?
The slope of the graph does not exist. And in the context of "this" problem it means absolutely nothing.
