If A = (x1, y1) and B = (x2, y2)

then, if

x1 ≠ x2 the slope of AB is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

There are various ways of interpreting slope > 0.

One way is that it implies that

y2 > y1 and x2 > x1

or

y2 < y1 and x2 < x1

that is both the coordinates of one point are greater than both the coordinates of the other point.

Note that if

x1 = x2 then the slope is not defined.

Yes, it is true; slope zero is no slope.


Is it true that if the slope of the line is positive the line is positive?

No.Unless the slope is zero, every line will extend from minus infinity to plus infinity. So part of it will be negative and part positive.No.Unless the slope is zero, every line will extend from minus infinity to plus infinity.

In the generalized slope-intercept equation of a line the slope of the line is represented as the coefficient of the variable x?

Your statement is correct. y=mx+b when m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of .33?

Perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1. As this is always true, if we think of .33 as about 1/3, then the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/(1/3) which is -3.
