If the line is a straight line, meaning 180degrees, it can only have one slope. If it is a function (f(x)= or y=) then the line may have more than one, one, or an undefined slope. Find the first differential of the function and plug in your given x value to find the slope at any given point.

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 two lines are perpendicular what do you know about their slopes?
one is the negative reciprocal of the other; that is if the slope of one line is 2, the other is -1/2
Can a line have two slopes how or why not?
can a line have two slopes
Perpendicular lines have opposite slopes?
Perpendicular lines in a Cartesian plane have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. This means that if one line has a slope of ( m ), the other line's slope will be ( -\frac{1}{m} ). For example, if one line has a slope of 2, the slope of the line that is perpendicular to it will be -(\frac{1}{2}). This relationship ensures that the lines intersect at a right angle.
Can one line have two slopes?
A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.
If two lines are perpendicular what do you know about their slopes?
one is the negative reciprocal of the other; that is if the slope of one line is 2, the other is -1/2
How do slopes of perpendicular lines compare?
Slopes of perpendicular lines will be opposite reciprocals. This means that the slopes have opposite signs and that one is 1/ the other. For example, 2 and -1/2.

Can one line have two slopes?
A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.
Can a line have 2 slopes?
In geometric terms, a line can have only one slope. if there is more than one slope, it is not a line, it is multiple lines or a second (or higher) order graphical representation of a function in two dimensional space.
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.
What line segments on a position versus time graph is physically impossible a horizontal line a straight line that slopes to the right a straight line that slopes to the left?
a verticla line
For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.

If the slope of a line is -2 What is the slope parallel to it?
-2. Slopes of parallel lines are the same. If the lines are different it is the intercedpt that is different.
What kind of slopes do perpendicular lines have?
The slopes of perpendicular lines are reciprocals of each other. For example. if one line had an equation like y= 2x+4 then the perpendicular's slope would be y=x/2+4 -- they are reciprocals of each other.
