How do you identify a slope given in a linear equation?
To identify the slope in a linear equation, rearrange the equation into the form y = mx + b. The term m is the slope.
If the slope of a line is two over three what is the slope of a line that is parallel to this line?
The slope is rise over run. If another line was parallel, the slope would be the same.
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.
The constant term in the slope-intercept equation for a line determines the?
y intercept
What Is a ratio that compares the vertical change to the corresponding horizontal change as you move from one point to another on a line?
Slope of the line
Another term for pitch is?
Another term for the word pitch is angle. Other synonyms for pitch include point, degree, and slope.
What is the other term of slope?
The other term for slope is gradient
What is the term for how steep a line is?
It is its slope or gradient.
Define terrace cropping?
Terracing is the process by which a hillside is converted by humans from a diagonal slope to a stepped slope. This provides flat areas that can be farmed more easily than on the slope. Terrace cropping is another term for farming on terraces.
Is the slope of a line the coefficient of the x-term in the line?
Yes, the slope of a line is the coefficient of the x-term in the line.
In the slope-intercept equation for a line the coefficient of the x-term gives the .?
The coefficient of the x term gives the gradient of the slope.
In the slope-intercept equation for a line the coefficient of the -term gives the slope?
x
What does it mean if a slope is numerically a higher value than another slope what are some examples in the real world?
What does it mean if a slope is numerically a higher value than another slope
What slope-intercept equation for a line the coefficient of the -term gives the slope?
The "slope-intercept" form of a line is an equation of the form:y = mx + b The "m" term - the coefficient you are asking for - is the slope of the line. The "b" is the y-intercept.
In what term gives the slope the slope-intercept equation for a line the coefficient?
The "slope-intercept" form of a line is an equation of the form:y = mx + b The "m" term - the coefficient you are asking for - is the slope of the line. The "b" is the y-intercept.
What is the term for a steep slope?
abrupt
What is another name for rate of change?
slope of a line
