When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the gralh line gets?
Steeper
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph gets?
As the slope get closer to zero, the graph becomes close to horizontal.
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets what?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
Why use slopes?
The slope of a graph provides general information about a graph. It tells you how much the y value of the graph increases (or decreases, if the slope is negative) for a given increase in x value. if you look at the general equation of a graph y = a x + b the value "a" represents the slope and the "b" value represents the value of y when x = 0. When the graph is not a straight line, the discussion gets more complicated, however the slope still describes changes in the value of the graph (you have to use calculus for this situation.)
When the value of the slope gets bigger the graph of a line does what?
It gets steeper.
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 )
When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the gralh line gets?
Steeper
Without graphing how can you tell which slope is steeper?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
What equation has a steeper line?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph gets?
As the slope get closer to zero, the graph becomes close to horizontal.
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
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets?
less steep (apex)
When the absolute value of the slope get smaller does the graph of a line gets shorter?
Not necessary because the line can have no slope at all and be as long as you want it to be.
How does changing the value of m affect the graph of an equation in the form Y mx plus B?
The graph passes through the point (0, B). Changing the value of m rotates the graph around that point. From left to right, the graph drops rapidly when m is a lery large negative number. The inclination decreases as m becomes a smaller negative number and is horizontal when m = 0. As m increases, the graph becomes increasing steeper upwards.
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets .?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
