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.
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.
Why product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1?
Because one slope is positive while the other slope is a negative reciprocal of it. For example: 2*-1/2 = -1
What is the slope of negative 2 and negative 8 1 and 4?
its -2 1
What does a fraction equals if it is a positive and a negative being added?
Depends on how big they are. The resulting number could be positive or negative. Negative 1/4 and Positive 1/2 will be a Positive 1/4. Positive 1/4 and Negative 1/2 will be a Negative 1/4.
