Never.
Write the equation of the line in the standrad form: y = mx + c The slope of this line is m The inverse of the slope is then 1/m. Note, that for a line perpendicular to the first, you need the negative inverse, not just the inverse. And the negative inverse of m is -1/m.
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.
Not always because it can also be negative

False.
A direct relationship if the slope of the line is positive. An inverse relationship if the slope of the line is negative.
If a line has a slope m then a line perpendicular to it has a slope -1/m ( negative inverse). For example if a line has slope positive 2, its perpendicular has slope -1/2

No because the slope of a line can be positive or negative
The line has a negative slope (or negative gradient).When the angle between the line and the positive direction of Ox is obtuse then the slope is negative. Conversely, when the angle is acute, the slope is positive.
If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'
You know when the slope of a line is negative when m in the slope-intercept form equation y=mx+b is negative. For example, y=-3x+2 has a negative slope since m (which is -3 in this case) is negative. This is the same when finding a positive slope, because if m is positive, then the slope is positive.
A line does not have an inverse!
The answer depends on the signs of the original intercepts.x negative, y negative: negative slope becomes less negative and could go positive.x negative, y positive: positive slope becomes greater.x positive, y negative: positive slope becomes less positive and could go negative.x positive, y positive: negative slope becomes more negative.For 1 and 3, the slope changes sign when the y intercept crosses the origin.
undefined, zero, negative, and positive are the 4 types of slopes
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.
Since the inverse of a function is it's reflection over the line x=y, which has a slope of 1. The only way a function can be It'a own inverse is if it is a liner function whose slope is perpendicular to the line. Since a perpendicular line is any line with the negative recoprocal of the slope, any linear function whose slope is -1 will be it's own inverse. - stefanie math 7-12 teacher
