It means then that the slope of the straight line equation will be minus
A straight line graph with negative slope slants downward from left to right.
negative
1. The slope of a flat line is smaller than the slope of a steep line.2. The slope of a flat line should be close to 0. 3. A negative slope means that the line mover down from left to right.
if the line slants down (from left to right) then it is negative. if the line slants up (from left to right) then it is positive. horisontal lines have a slope of "0" and and vertical ones are undefined.
Looking from left to right, or as the x values get larger, the y values are decreasing. On a graph the line would be tilted down if you follow from left to right.
a slope going from right to left
If a line on a graph is rising as it goes from left to right, it has a positive slope. If it is falling from left to right (or rising from right to left) it has a negative slope. If it is horizontal, it has a slope of zero.
A slope is positive or negative based on if the line goes from the upper left corner down to the lower right corner or right to left. Left is positive right is negative.
This is unrelated. A steep line has a LARGE slope. The slope is positive if the line goes up from left to right; negative if it goes down from left to right.
if its going down from left to right it is a negative
The slope is the ratio of the vertical increase divided by the horizontal increase. The slope of a flat line is 0. The slope of a flatter line is smaller than the slope of a steeper line. A positive slop indicates that the line move up from left to right. A negative slope means that the line moves down from left to right.
Yes, a steep line typically has a negative slope. The slope of a line represents the rate at which the line is increasing or decreasing. In the case of a steep line that is sloping downwards from left to right, the slope is considered negative.
That is a negative 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.
It has a negative (downward) slope.
It would have a downhill slope from left to right
A line extending from the upper left to the lower right has a negative slope.
