The steepness of a line on a graph is called the?
The "steepness" of a line is called the slope. The slope represents the the amount of change in the y-direction of the line per every change in the x-direction. This is represented mathematically by slope = Δy/Δx Δy is also called the "rise" and Δx is also called the "run". The steepness can also be called the gradient, which is represented by an angle. The gradient can be calculated from the slope by using the formula gradient = tan(slope).
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation y-5x equals 5?
5
what total cost of the party y can be represented by the equation y= 10x + 150 does the slope represent?
160
How can you tell which equation has the steepest slope?
if you know the slope of two epuations, (if the equations are in slope intercept form (y=mx+b, y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept) the line represented by the line with the larger slope (|m|) has the steeper slope. If the lines have the same m, the slopes are either equal or negative. If the slope of either line is undefined, it is steeper than any slope other than one that is undefined, in wich the slopes are equal
What is the slope and the y-intercept of the line represented in this equation?
That of course will depend entirely on the straight line equation which has not been given but in general in the equation y = mx+b the slope is m and b is the y intercept
