What is the four different types of slopes?

A line parallel to another line with an undefined slope must also have an undefined slope?

Sounds reasonable. If the lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal.


Define the 4 types of slopes?

Positive slope: The line rises from left to right. Negative slope: The line falls from left to right. Zero slope: The line is horizontal. Undefined slope: The line is vertical.


How many slopes do vertical lines have?

The slope of a vertical line is undefined. The slope of a horizontal line is 0. Hope this helps.


What is the slope of a line parallel to a vertical line?

A vertical line has an undefined slope. For the line to be parallel to a vertical line, the slopes would have to be the same. Therefore, the line parallel to a vertical line also has an undefined slope.

Does every line have a slope intercept equation?

No. Vertical lines and horizontal lines have undefined and 0 slopes. Undefined could be any number, so the answer is No. Good luck with your Apex :)

How can you tell which equation has the steepest slope?

if you know the slope of two epuations, (if the equations are in slope intercept form (y=mx+b, y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept) the line represented by the line with the larger slope (|m|) has the steeper slope. If the lines have the same m, the slopes are either equal or negative. If the slope of either line is undefined, it is steeper than any slope other than one that is undefined, in wich the slopes are equal

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.
