Can a line have two slopes how or why not?
can a line have two slopes
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?
Positive 3
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 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.
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
Can a line have two slopes how or why not?
can a line have two slopes
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.)
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?
Positive 3
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 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 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.
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 is the difference between slopes of parallel lines and slopes of perpendicular lines?
Slopes of parallel lines have the same slope (they are changing at the same rate).Slopes of perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative inverse of each other, that is, their product is -1. (The slope of a vertical line is therefore undetermined, not infinity. There is no slope s that times 0 equals -1.)---Let m1 be the slope of line one and m2 be the slope of line two. Then:If the lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal, so m1 - m2 = 0.If the lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are negative inverses of each other, so= m1 - (-1/m1)= m1 + 1/m1= (m12 + 1)/m1
