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.
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
A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.
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.
a verticla line
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
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.
A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.
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, 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.)
A line that slopes to the right and up has a positive slope.
a verticla line
-2. Slopes of parallel lines are the same. If the lines are different it is the intercedpt that is different.
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.
Slopes of line perpendicular to the x-axis are undefined.
They are the negative reciprocal of each other. Fo rexample, if a line has slope = +2, then the line perpendicular to it has slope -1/2
