What happens to the graph of a line when the slope is negative?
Looking from left to right, or as the x values get larger, the y values are decreasing. On a graph the line would be tilted down if you follow from left to right.
What is a positive and negative value for M in the formula y equals Mx plus B?
The formula y=Mx + B is the slope intercept equation of a line. If you where to graph this on a 2 dimensional graph with x and y axes the number represented by M would be the slope of the line. A positive value of M would mean a positive slope and the line will rise as one views it from left to right. A negative value of M would indicate a negative slope and the line will descend as one views it from left to right. A value of zero for M would indicate a horizontal line.
How do you graph the slope of a function?
For example, if the slope at a certain point is 1.5, you can draw a line that goes through the specified point, with that slope. The line would represent the slope at that point. If you want to graph the slope at ALL POINTS, take the derivative of the function, and graph the derivative. The derivative shows the slope of a function at all points.
What would be the corresponding graph for y equals -3x?
The graph of [ y = -3x ] is a straight line, through the origin, with slope of -3 .
Does in linear graphs the slope of the line change with the x coordinate?
In a linear graph the slope is the same everywhere, assuming vertical line graphs are not allowed. Depending on context, a vertical line (say x = 3) is not always allowed. If the graph is a vertical line then the slope is infinite at the single value of x. (That would be 3 in the example above.) The slope would then be undefined elsewhere.
What would a graph that has a negative slope show?
It would have a downhill slope from left to right
What feature of a distance ortime graph represents speed?
slope of the graph ... actually the absolute value of the slope, actual slope, positive or negative, would indicate direction, so the slope would be velocity.
Would the graph of reaction distance versus speed have a positive or a negative slope?
your logic is flawed. please be more specific or present a different relationship in which I can correlate.
A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating?
false
How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?
This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).
How is deceleration represented on a velocity per time graph?
It is radial the velocity in a direction towards or away from a fixed point of reference (the origin) at a given time. The velocity time graph takes no account of motion in a direction across the radial direction.
What is the graph if the slope is negative?
If the slope is negative, or going downhill, then that means the graph will be a regular coordinate system (x and y axis). The only thing that is different is the direnction of the slope. A positive, or regular, slope formula, looks like this: y= 2x + 3, for example. Since there are no negative signs, the slope would be going upwards. But a negative slope, like you are talking about, would look either like this: y= -2x + 3 ( negative sign in front of 2 ). Remember: If the equation looks like this: y= 2x - 3, it would still be positive, because it is behind the 2x. Good luck!
If your trying to find a slope in a graph and the first point starts in corrandant 3 would it be negative?
I have no idea what a "corrandant" is, but I suspect that the answer to the question is NO.
What does a negative slope on an acceleration vs time graph mean?
No. A negative slope means that the object is slowing down. If the object were not moving, then its velocity would be zero. The graph would be a straight horizontal line that just lays there on the time axis.
What happens to the graph of a line when the slope is negative?
Looking from left to right, or as the x values get larger, the y values are decreasing. On a graph the line would be tilted down if you follow from left to right.
What is a positive and negative value for M in the formula y equals Mx plus B?
The formula y=Mx + B is the slope intercept equation of a line. If you where to graph this on a 2 dimensional graph with x and y axes the number represented by M would be the slope of the line. A positive value of M would mean a positive slope and the line will rise as one views it from left to right. A negative value of M would indicate a negative slope and the line will descend as one views it from left to right. A value of zero for M would indicate a horizontal line.
What does the slope of the line on a position versus time graph tell you about the objects speed?
The distance versus time graph shows the position of the object. The slope of the line shows the velocity of the object. The velocity is the direction and speed of an object. If your slope has a positive slant that means you are going in a positive direction. If the slope has a negative slant your object is going in a negative direction. If your slope is zero (a horizontal line) that means your object has stopped and is about to change directions. In case you didnt know a positive slant looks like this on a graph.... / a negative slant looks like this on a graph.... \ postive is like sloping up a hill negative is like falling down the hill
