When the value of the slope gets bigger the graph of a line does what?
It gets steeper.
What happens to the line and its slope if you zoom in or out?
The slope of a line doesn't change if you zoom in or out.
Without graphing how can you tell which slope is steeper?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
What happens when the slope is 3 over 0?
If the slope is 3/0 then the line is vertical (as there is no change in x for some change in y).
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular?
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
When the value of the slope gets bigger the graph of a line does what?
It gets steeper.
What happens to the slope when a line with positive slope gets close to vertical?
it gets larger
When the value of a slope gets bigger the graph of a line gets?
As the slope gets bigger the graph becomes closer to vertical - from bottom left to top right.
What absolute value of the slope gets bigger the graph of a line gets?
It gets longer Apex :)
What happens to a line when the slope is a smaller and smaller?
As the slope gets smaller and smaller the line gets flatter and flatter (or more horizontal).
What Happens to the graph of a line when the slope is negative check all that apply?
A. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper B. The line goes up from left to right C. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep D. The line goes down from left to right E. The line shifts down
What happens when the value of the slope gets smaller?
The line gets less steep.
What happens to the slope when a line gets close to horizontal?
It gets closer to 0.
What happens to a line as the slope approaches 0?
It Gets Flatter!
Considering the graph of a line with a negative slope what is true?
the line goes down from left to right as the absolute value of the negative slope get bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper as the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep ( apex )
What happens to the line and its slope if you zoom in or out?
The slope of a line doesn't change if you zoom in or out.
When the value of the slope gets bigger the graph of the line gets?
The slope of a straight line is commonly described as rise over run. In other words, it's the ratio of the change in the y direction to the change in the x direction. Therefore, lines with greater slopes are closer to vertical. A vertical line has infinite slope, and the slope of a horizontal line is zero.
