In a linear equation the independent variable increases at a constant rate while the dependent variable decreases at a constant rate the slope of this line is?
The slope is negative.
This just means that your x-values (independent) are increasing (which is usually the case). Such as 0,1,2,3,4,5. While the y-values (dependent) are decreasing. such as -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0. Since the y-values are decreasing, this must mean the slope has to be negative.

What is the independent variable of 1.49?
1.49 is a constant: there is NO variable - independent or dependent!
If xy equals 20 then y decreases as x - decreases increases or stays constant?
linear if xy = 20, then y = 20/x or y = 20(1/x) So x can be positive or negative but not zero: There are 3 cases: Case 1: if x = 20, then y is constant, y = 1. Case 2: a) if x > 0, and if x → 0+, then y → ∞ (if x decreases but not reaches zero, then y increases without end). b) if x < 0 and if x → -∞, then y → 0 (if x decreases, then y increases and approaches to zero). Case 3: a) if x > 0 and if x → ∞, then y → 0 (if x increases, y decreases and approaches to zero) b) if x < 0, and if x → 0-, then y → -∞ (if x increases but not reaches zero, then y decreases without end).
What is the variable and constant in P equals 2W 2L?
'W' and 'L' are independent variables. 'P' is the dependent variable. '2' and '2' are the constants.
What is the definition of linear equation?
A linear equation has a constant rate of change, or slope (change in y (dependent) value over change in x (independent) value), when graphed forms a straight trend line, and is in the format y=mx+b (y is dependent value, m is slope, x is independent value, and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
What is an example of constant rate of change?
A constant rate of change is anything that increases or decreases by the same amount for every trial. Therefore an example could be driving down the highway at a speed of exactly 60 MPH. If your speed doesn't change you are driving at a constant rate. Here's another: your cell phone company charges you $0.55 for every minute you use. The rate that you are charged always stays the same so it is a constant rate of change. Anything that goes up by X number of units for every Y value every time is a constant rate of change.
Is 80 independent or dependent?
80 is neither dependent nor independent. It is a number: a variable can be dependent or independent, not a constant.
What happens to the rate constant as energy increases?
The rate constant decreases.
What is numerical pattern that increases or decreases at a constant rate or value?
An arithmetic sequence is a numerical pattern where each term increases or decreases by a constant value. This constant value is called the common difference.
What is the independent variable of 1.49?
1.49 is a constant: there is NO variable - independent or dependent!
Is pressure independent of temperature?
No, pressure is dependent on temperature. As temperature increases, the pressure of a gas also increases, assuming volume remains constant (Boyle's Law). If volume is not constant, then pressure and temperature are directly proportional (Charles's Law).
What increases when the resistance of an electrical circuit decreases?
Current increases if the voltage remains constant.
Is the rate constant dependent on temperature?
Yes, the rate constant of a reaction is typically dependent on temperature. As temperature increases, the rate constant usually increases as well. This relationship is described by the Arrhenius equation, which shows how the rate constant changes with temperature.
What are the dependent and independent variables in relationship between resistance and current at constant voltage?
dependent variable is current and independent variable is resisitance
When the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased the volume of the gas decreases when the pressure is decreased the volume increases?
decreases
When the freuency of a wave traveling at constant speed increases what decreases?
As the frequency of a wave increases while traveling at a constant speed, the wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the product of its frequency and wavelength, so if one increases while the other remains constant, the other must decrease to maintain a constant speed.
Are constant variables and dependent variables the same?
No, they are not.The constant varible is what stays the same and the dependent varible is whats effected by the change (the independent varibles).
What gas law does it say that when the pressure of a gas is at constant temperature it is increased its volume increases or decreases?
Boyle's Law states that at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. This means that as the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases, and vice versa.
