answer
Not necessary because the line can have no slope at all and be as long as you want it to be.
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
It gets longer Apex :)
If you're given an existing point and the slope of the line, then yes - the y-intercept depends on the slope.
The line gets less steep.
Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.
the line goes down from left to right as the absolute value of the negative slope get bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper as the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep ( apex )

A. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper B. The line goes up from left to right C. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep D. The line goes down from left to right E. The line shifts down
Slope is found by calculating rise over run. It represents the steepness of a line and the line's direction. The higher the absolute value of the slope, the more the line's steepness increases, and vice versa. If the slope is positive, the line is diagonal upwards to the right ( / ). If the slope is negative, the line is diagonal downwards to the right ( \ ). If the slope is zero, the line is horizontal. If it is "undefined", the line is a vertical line.
In general, the steepness of a slope is determined by its absolute value, not the sign. A negative slope indicates a downward trend, while a positive slope indicates an upward trend. If both slopes have the same absolute value, they are equally steep, but a negative slope will visually appear to descend, while a positive slope will ascend. Thus, a steeper slope can be negative or positive, depending on its absolute value.
The slope of a line is the change in y coordinates divided by the change in x coordinates. Zero is the slope of a flat line. The steeper the line, the greater the value of the slope. For instance a slope of 587 is steeper than a slope of 48. A vertical line is not given a slope measurement - it is said to be indeterminate, so there is no representation for the "steepest" line. An extremely steep line will have a slope value approaching plus or minus infinity.
