How would you describe slope?
the gradient of a graph at any point.
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.
Describe slope and y intercept of intersecting lines?
To intersect, their slopes have to be different. The y-intercept can be anything.
What is the slope of the line with equation y -5x?
y - 5x is an expression, not an equation. As a result, it cannot describe a line.
Can you describe the slope of a horizontal line?
Well the run will obviously be 0, but the rise depends on how many spaces it is from bottom to top.
What does the dinominator of slope describe?
what is the slope between (3,2) and (5,4)
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 you describe slope?
the gradient of a graph at any point.
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.
How would yu describe the rise and the run for a slope of -2?
Negative or downwards
What move does the numerator of the slope describe?
rise
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
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 is the term used to describe a dangerous snow slide down a mountain slope?
It is called an avalanche
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.
