What else can I help you with?
What if the slope is negative already what would be the reciprocal?
It would be the negative of the negative reciprocal. And since the negative of a negative is a posivie, it is the positive reciprocal.. For example, if the slope was -3, the other would be 1/3.
What would a graph that has a negative slope show?
It would have a downhill slope from left to right
How does slope look like on a table?
On a table, slope can be represented as the ratio of vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run) between two points on a graph. This is often shown as a fraction, where the numerator indicates how much the value changes vertically and the denominator shows how much it changes horizontally. If plotted on a coordinate system, a steep slope would appear as a steep line, while a gentle slope would appear more horizontal. A negative slope would slope downward from left to right, while a positive slope would slope upward.
Can the position - time graph have a negative slope?
Yes, a position-time graph can have a negative slope. This would indicate that the object is moving in the negative direction with respect to the chosen reference point.
What word describes the slope of the line passing through points (5 12) and (5 -13)?
It would be a undefined slope.There are four types of slope:Postive slope (when lines go uphill from left to right)Negative slope (when lines go downhill from left to right)Zero slope (when lines are horizontal)Undefined slope (when lines are vertical)
Does a negative line have a different slope than a positive one?
Yes. If the fraction is the same, the negative slope would have at least one negative number, while the positive would have both positive numbers. I'm pretty sure. :)
What feature of a distance ortime graph represents speed?
slope of the graph ... actually the absolute value of the slope, actual slope, positive or negative, would indicate direction, so the slope would be velocity.
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 graph the slope of a function?
For example, if the slope at a certain point is 1.5, you can draw a line that goes through the specified point, with that slope. The line would represent the slope at that point. If you want to graph the slope at ALL POINTS, take the derivative of the function, and graph the derivative. The derivative shows the slope of a function at all points.
When the right side point is lower than the left side point what is the sign of the slope?
The sign of the slope is negative because going from left to right the slope decreases or goes down. If the slope were to increase or go up, the sign would be positive. Hope I helped! SLS
What is the equation to find the slope between two points?
If our two points were (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). We'd remember slope is rise over run. We'd have (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Plug in your numbers, and you would have the slope of the line between these two points.
What is the slope of -4 4 and 0 2?
If those are the x-y coordinates of two points, then they're two points. Two points don't have a slope. In fact, points don't have anything. If we want to play around with two points for a while, one thing we could do with them would be to draw a line segment between them. With these particular two points, the line segment would be about 4.472 long, its slope would be -2, and it would be a piece of the line that intersects the y-axis at y=2 and the x-axis at x=4 .
