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'
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.
Can two lines with a negative slope be perpendicular?
NoIf the slope of a given line is x, than the slope of the line perpendicular to the first line is 1/-x. So if the first slope is negative, the second will be positive, and vice versa.
