What does the slope of a line tell you on a graph?
the rate of change on the line.
What does a negative slope tell you about a line?
That it descends.
How can you tell from a graph on a line what type of slope it has?
If the line slants up and to the right, it has a positive slope. If it is slanting up and to the left, it has a negative slope.
What does slope tell us about a line?
Its angle of incline.
What does the slope of the line on a distance-time graph tell you?
velocity
What does a slope OF 0 tell you about a line?
It is a horizontal line.
How can you tell if a slope is zero or undefined?
A slope is 0 if it is a straight horizontal line. A slope is undefined if it is a straight vertical line.
What does the slope of a line tell you on a graph?
the rate of change on the line.
What is the slope of a graph line?
it is impossible to tell the slope of a line graph without proper points to evaluate from.
What does a negative slope tell you about a line?
That it descends.
How can you tell from a graph on a line what type of slope it has?
If the line slants up and to the right, it has a positive slope. If it is slanting up and to the left, it has a negative slope.
What is the direction of a line whose slope is undefined?
If you dont have slope then you cant tell
What does slope tell us about a line?
Its angle of incline.
How does a line graph line with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
What does the slope of the line on a distance-time graph tell you?
velocity
How do you tell if lines are perpendicular based on slope?
The slope (rise over run) of one line will be a number (n) or (-n) and the perpendicular line's slope will be the exact opposite. So, for instance, if one line has a slope of 2/3, then a perpendicular line's slope must be -2/3, and vice versa.
What is approximate gradient?
The gradient of a line is the same as the slope of a line. It will tell someone measuring the line how straight the line is.
