What is the trend of a graph?

The trend of a graph is the slope of any line on the graph that indicated a positive or growth factor and/or a negative or decaying factor. If the slope goes negative, the graph's line will go down thus indicating decay. If the slope becomes positive, the graph's line will go up thus indicating growth.


Considering the graph of a line with a negative slope what is true?

the line goes down from left to right as the absolute value of the negative slope get bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper as the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep ( apex )


What happen to the graph of a line when the slope is negative?

the line rises to the left if it is negative instead of the right. \ .\ ..\ ...\ ....\ .....\ ......\ like that


A straight line on a graph means there is a what relationship?

A direct relationship if the slope of the line is positive. An inverse relationship if the slope of the line is negative.


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 must be true about the slope of a line whose graph extends into quadrants II and IV?

it is a negative slope.


What Happens to the graph of a line when the slope is negative check all that apply?

A. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper B. The line goes up from left to right C. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep D. The line goes down from left to right E. The line shifts down


What is an negative slope?

A negative slope is a slope occurs whenever an increase in the x value of the equation of a line causes the y value to decrease. If you're looking at the graph, the line with slope downwards from left to right.


How is deceleration represented on a velocity per time graph?

It is radial the velocity in a direction towards or away from a fixed point of reference (the origin) at a given time. The velocity time graph takes no account of motion in a direction across the radial direction.


What does a line with a negative slope indicate on a speed-time graph?

Negative slope on a speed/time graph indicates decreasing speed. (Some call it "deceleration", although I wish they wouldn't.)


How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?

This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).


Does the graph of this line y-3x-5 have a negative slope or a positive slop?
