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.)

How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?
You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.
What are precipitous slopes?
Slopes that are dangerously high and/or steep.
What are the function of agar slopes?
function of agar slopes
Can a line have two slopes how or why not?
can a line have two slopes
Have slopes that are the same?
same slopes = parallel lines
Which careers use Algebraic slopes?
positive, negative, undefined slopes
How can you use the word slopes in a sentence?
The hill slopes steeply away from the road in this area. Let's hit the slopes! (Let's go skiing!)

Can you use a sentence for slope?
oh yes i went to the mountain in slopes
How do you use the slopes and y-intercepts to determine if two lines coincide or are parallel?
If the slopes are different the lines are neither - they intersect. They are parallel or coincident if the slopes are the same. Then, if the y-intercepts are the same they are coincident while if the y-intercepts are different, they are parallel.
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other then they are if they have slopes that are the same then they are?
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel
What are precipitous slopes?
Slopes that are dangerously high and/or steep.
What are the function of agar slopes?
function of agar slopes
Can a line have two slopes how or why not?
