What is a measure of the steepness of a line?

The measure of the steepness of a line is known as a line's slope.


The measure of steepness of line?

The "slope".


Is the midpoint of a line the same as the slope of a line?

No. The midpoint of a line is the middle point on the line, while the slope is a measure of how the line is oriented.

Is The slope of a line is a measure of the steepness?

yes, it is...


What is the measure of two intersecting perpendicular line?

If you are asking for slope, the slope of one line is m, the slope of the other is -1/m. For example, if the slope for one line is 5, the slope of the other line is -1/5 = -0.2 . (Math Open Reference)


What if the rate of change is a measure of how fast the function is increasing or decreasing what does the slope of a linear?

The slope of a linear function is also a measure of how fast the function is increasing or decreasing. The only difference is that the slope of a straight line remains the same throughout the domain of the line.


Can you measure a line even though it goes on forever?

You cannot measure its length but you can measure its slope and intercepts.


The slope-intercept equation of a line is y equals mx plus b where m is the slope of the line?

y = mx + c is the equation of a straight oblique line where m = gradient The gradient is a measue of the steepness of a line (or a measure of the slope of the line)


What is the measure of the steepness of line expressed as rise over run?

The measure of the steepness of line expressed as rise over run is called slope.


An important property of every line is its steepness or?

slope, which indicates how steeply the line rises or falls as it moves along its path. The slope is found by taking the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line. It is a measure of the rate at which the line is ascending or descending.


What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?

A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
