Slope is the amount that y increases/decreases by when x increases by one. If you have an slope-intercept equation of y=mx=b, your slope is m. For example, in the equation, y=3x+14, your slope is 3.
looking they can't of got far
What happens to a line as its slope is incrementally decreased from 1 to zero
The slope formula is defined as the rise over the run, a.k.a the change in Y over the change in X.m= (y1-y2)/(x1-x2).For a Vertical Line, the rise is infinite while the run is zero, suggesting a slope of infinity/zero (because the slope is the rise over the run).Zero can be put into infinity an infinite amount of times, describing an INFINITE SLOPE, which limit calculus is required to reveal. However, for algebra students, this value, infinity, or the infinite slope, is described as UNDEFINED. This is because algebra students have not yet received sufficient math tools to define infinity! Be patient and don't get too excited, calculus will reveal much :)SO...For CALCULUS students: Vertical lines have an infinite slopeFor ALGEBRA students: Vertical lines have an undefined slope
On one of my projects for my algebra class...my professor is asking us to find the slope of a line which is fairly easy.....but i only have one point and it's impossible to find a slope with only one point....what am i doing wrong?
