If a line has a negative slope what is its general directions?

Generally, the direction would be... down.


Do parallel lines have negative reciprocals?

The slope of parallel lines are the same, but the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.


Can two different intersecting lines have the same slope Why?

No because one line would be going in one direction and the other line would be going in the other direction. Which would make one slope negative and the other slope positive.


Which of these lines has a negative slope?

What does the slope of a linen on a distance - time graph represent?

The speed. Also, if a positive slope represents the speed in one direction, the negative slope is the speed in the opposite direction.


What is a line wxtending from the upper lift to the lower right has this type of slope?

The line has a negative slope (or negative gradient).When the angle between the line and the positive direction of Ox is obtuse then the slope is negative. Conversely, when the angle is acute, the slope is positive.


Do perpendicular lines have the same exact slope?

No, parallel lines have exactly same slope Perpendicular line have a slope that is negative reciprocal of each other that is if m = slope of line then slope of perpendicular line is -1/m


What are some Real examples for negative slope and positive slope?

A positive slope is simply a slope going upward on a graph from left to right. A negative slope is a slope going downward from left to right. Often, negative slopes are the reverse of positive slopes and are both depending on the person's direction.


If two lines are perpendicular?

one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other
