To calculate the slope of a line, we use a ratio that compares the change in y (the rise) to the corresponding change in x (the run).
So, m = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = Rise/run, where the change in x cannot be 0.
If m > 0, the line is rising from left to right.
If m < o, the line is falling from left to right.
If m = 0, the line is a horizontal line. This means that the change in y is 0.
If the line is vertical, this means that the change in x is 0, and since we cannot divide by 0, the slope of a vertical line is undefined.

What type of lines are these 3x - 2y -2 and 6x - 4y 0?
If you mean: 3x-2y = -2 and 6x-4y = 0 then they are parallel lines having the same slope or gradient of 1.5
Is the x intercept the same as the slope?
No. In a linear equation, y = mx + b, the slope is m, and the x intercept is where mx + b = 0.
What is the slope and y intercept for y - x equals 0?
y - x = 0 which is the same as y = x + 0 which is of the form y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the intercept. Hence for y = x + 0, the slope is 1 ans the intercept is 0. The equation represents a line making 45 degrees to the a-axis and it passes through the origin.
If the slope of a line is 0 is the line horizontal or vertical?
if the slope is 0, the line is horizontal.
The slope of a horizontal line is?
Horizontal lines have a slope of 0.
What type of lines are these 3x - 2y -2 and 6x - 4y 0?
If you mean: 3x-2y = -2 and 6x-4y = 0 then they are parallel lines having the same slope or gradient of 1.5
Why does a constant speed have a slope of 0?
Because the slope measures the rate of change. The word "CONSTANT" means no change so there is no rate of change. Having said that, it will not have a slope of zero if you are plotting displacement against time.
Find an equation of the line containing the given point and having the given slope 3-6m1?
Assuming the point is (3, -6) and the slope 1, the equation is x - y - 9 = 0
What is the slope of a line parallel to a line whose slope is 0?
It is also zero as parallel lines have the same slope
Is having no credit the same as having bad credit?
no, it is a thin file and will show as a 0, bad credit will show a score of 350-less than 600
Which is the only cube having the same value as its cuberoot?
There is no "only" such number; there are three: 0, 1, and -1.
If you have a page with pr 7 having 300 links and a page having 10 link with 0 pr which is valieble?
if i have a page with pr 7 having 300 links and a page having 10 link with 0 pr which is valieble
What is a slope of 0?
A horizontal line has a slope of 0. If you're using the slope formula, then when the numerator is equal to 0 then the slope is 0.
What is the slope of a line parallel to points (-70) and (04)?
If you mean points of: (-7, 0) and (0, 4) then the slope works out as 4/7 Note that the parallel line will have the same slope but with a different y intercept
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to a horizontal line?
Well since the lines are parallel they would have the same slope. And the slope of any horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
Does a vertical line have a slope of 0?
No. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. A vertical line has an undefined slope. Let's say you have a vertical line with the points (3,-2) and (3,4). The slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = (-2-4)/(3-3) = -6/0 = undefined. Notice that x is the same for both points. A line in which all points have the same value for x is a vertical line and as such has an undefined slope.
If the slope of a given line is 0 what is the slope of an orthogonal line?
If the original slope is 0, then the opposite reciprocal of 0 is still 0. Oops! Reciprocal of 0 (n/0) is undefined! A vertical line has undefined slope, the horizontal line has slope of 0.
