In a linear graph the slope is the same everywhere, assuming vertical line graphs are not allowed. Depending on context, a vertical line (say x = 3) is not always allowed. If the graph is a vertical line then the slope is infinite at the single value of x. (That would be 3 in the example above.) The slope would then be undefined elsewhere.

No. A linear graph has the same slope anywhere.

What does slope mean in math terms?

Slope refers to the gradient of a graph, for linear graphs (straight-line) this is equal to the change in y divided by the change in x - often referred to as the 'rise over the run'.


Is the slope of a line constant true or false?

True. The slope of a line is constant, meaning it remains the same regardless of the two points chosen on the line. This consistency is what defines a linear relationship, where the change in the y-coordinate is proportional to the change in the x-coordinate. In contrast, the slope of a curve can vary at different points.

What does the m stand for in a slope formula?

In the slope formula, the "m" represents the slope of a line. It quantifies the rate of change of the y-coordinate with respect to the x-coordinate, indicating how steep the line is. In the context of the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, (y = mx + b), "m" reflects how much y changes for a one-unit increase in x.


When two linear functions share the same rate of change what might be different about their tables graphs and equations?

When two linear functions share the same rate of change, their graphs will be parallel lines because they have the same slope. However, their equations will differ in the y-intercept, which means they will cross the y-axis at different points. Consequently, their tables of values will show consistent differences in their outputs for the same inputs. Despite having the same slope, these differences lead to distinct linear functions.


What is the slope of -8 0 and 7 3?

Slope = [change in y coordinate]/[change in x coordinate] = [3 - 0]/[7 - (-8)] = 3/15 = 1/5


Formula for slope?

Slope = the rise divided by the run or on a cartesian coordinate plane: the change in y divided by the change in x
