What are the different ways of the slope of a line?
'uphill' it is positive 'downhill' it is negative
What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?
If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'
Is a line with a positive slope and a line with a negative slope parallel?
No, a line with a positive slope and a line with a negative slope cannot be parallel. Parallel lines have the same slope, meaning they rise or fall at the same rate. A positive slope indicates that a line rises as it moves from left to right, while a negative slope indicates that a line falls. Therefore, these two types of lines will eventually intersect if extended far enough, demonstrating that they are not parallel.
What will happen to the slope of a line if the line is shifted so that the y intercept increases and the x intercept remains the same?
The answer depends on the signs of the original intercepts.x negative, y negative: negative slope becomes less negative and could go positive.x negative, y positive: positive slope becomes greater.x positive, y negative: positive slope becomes less positive and could go negative.x positive, y positive: negative slope becomes more negative.For 1 and 3, the slope changes sign when the y intercept crosses the origin.
How can you tell from a graph on a line what type of slope it has?
If the line slants up and to the right, it has a positive slope. If it is slanting up and to the left, it has a negative slope.
Is a slope of a line always positive?
No because the slope of a line can be positive or negative
What are the different ways of the slope of a line?
'uphill' it is positive 'downhill' it is negative
Is the inverse of a line with positive slope a line with negative slope?
Never.
What is a line wxtending from the upper lift to the lower right has this type of slope?
The line has a negative slope (or negative gradient).When the angle between the line and the positive direction of Ox is obtuse then the slope is negative. Conversely, when the angle is acute, the slope is positive.
What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?
If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'
How do you know when the slope of a line is negative?
You know when the slope of a line is negative when m in the slope-intercept form equation y=mx+b is negative. For example, y=-3x+2 has a negative slope since m (which is -3 in this case) is negative. This is the same when finding a positive slope, because if m is positive, then the slope is positive.

Define the 4 types of slopes?
undefined, zero, negative, and positive are the 4 types of slopes
Does Does a steep line have a negative slope?
This is unrelated. A steep line has a LARGE slope. The slope is positive if the line goes up from left to right; negative if it goes down from left to right.
Does a steep line have a negative slope?
Yes, a steep line typically has a negative slope. The slope of a line represents the rate at which the line is increasing or decreasing. In the case of a steep line that is sloping downwards from left to right, the slope is considered negative.
A straight line on a graph means there is a what relationship?
A direct relationship if the slope of the line is positive. An inverse relationship if the slope of the line is negative.
How can you tell from a graph on a line what type of slope it has?
If the line slants up and to the right, it has a positive slope. If it is slanting up and to the left, it has a negative slope.
