Slope of horizontal line?
The slope of a horizontal line is zero.
What is the slope of all lines parallel to the x-axis?
the x-axis is the horizontal line which means the slope is 0. any line parallel also has a slope of zero
Do all lines have a slope?
Although all lines have the relationship that defines slope, one can argue that not all lines do have one. The exception would be vertical lines. Slope is defined as the vertical rate of change divided by the horizontal rate of change. In the case of a vertical line, there is no horizontal rate of change, and calculating slope would cause division by zero. The closest you could come to expressing the slope of a vertical line would be ∞
What word describes the slope of the line passing through points (5 12) and (5 -13)?
It would be a undefined slope.There are four types of slope:Postive slope (when lines go uphill from left to right)Negative slope (when lines go downhill from left to right)Zero slope (when lines are horizontal)Undefined slope (when lines are vertical)
What is the slope of horizontal line?
The slope of a horizontal line is zero. That's because the slope measures how steep the line is, and a flat line is not steep at all and therefore has no slope.
Lines always have a slope of zero.?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of zero. (i.e completely flat, level surfaces have a slope of zero). However a line does not have to have a slope of zero in order to be a line.
Do vertical lines have a slpoe of zero?
No. Horizontal lines have zero slope. Vertical lines have infinite slope.
A vertical line has a run which is?
run as in slope of a line is zero . horizontal lines have no slope and vertical lines have a slope of zero
Do horizontal lines have an undefined slope?
No. The slope of a horizontal line is zero. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
What type of slope does vertical lines have?
a slope of zero. horizontal is undefined
What kind of lines have a slope of zero?
On the standard Cartesian graph, horizontal lines have zero slope. They all have the equation Y = a number
When is the product of the slope of two perpendicular lines not equal to -1?
When the lines are horizontal and vertical. (slope of zero) (undefined slope)
If the slope of a line is zero What is the slope of the line that is parallel to it?
The parallel line would also have a slope of zero (both are horizontal lines).
Why cant equations of vertical lines be written in slope-intercept form but equations of horizontal lines can?
For vertical lines, when you try to figure out the slope, you get zero in the denominator - in other words, a division by zero.
Some lines have no slope?
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).
Do rising lines always have negative slopes?
If a line on a graph is rising as it goes from left to right, it has a positive slope. If it is falling from left to right (or rising from right to left) it has a negative slope. If it is horizontal, it has a slope of zero.
What are lines that go left to right?
In general, they are called horizontal lines, but they will only be that if they have a zero slope. They'll be "level" or "flat" lines.
