A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.


Can a line have two slopes why or why not?

Yes it can, but it would not then be a straight line but an angle.


Roof with two slopes and gable at both ends?

If the gable is formed by the two slopes and a horizontal line, it is called a gable roof.


How do you know if two line segments are parallel?

Their slopes are equal.


How do you know if two line segments are perpendicular?

their slopes are negative reciprocals.


If two lines are parallel what do you know about their slopes?

If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.(And if they are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is minus one - unless one line is horizontal and the other vertical.)


What type of slope does a line that slopes upward have?

A line that slopes to the right and up has a positive slope.


How do the slopes of two Parallel lines compare?

The slopes of two parallel lines are identical, meaning they have the same numerical value. This is because parallel lines maintain a constant distance from each other and do not intersect, which requires their slopes to be equal. If one line has a slope of ( m ), the other line will also have a slope of ( m ).


What are two line slopes that are negative reciprocals are?

Two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals if the product of their slopes equals -1. For example, if one line has a slope of 2, the negative reciprocal would be -1/2. This means that if one line rises 2 units for every 1 unit it runs, the other line falls 1 unit for every 2 units it runs, creating perpendicular lines.


If there are two lines that are perpendicular and one of the two slopes is negative one third then what is the slope of the other line?
