The slope is a horizontal line is?
The slope of a horizontal line is zero. It has a slope, but slope = 0 and this makes it different from a vertical line which has a slope that is undefined because you cannot divide 0 over 0 which is how much a vertical line rises and runs.Ways to find slope:(y2-y1)/(x2-x1 )orrise/run
You are out on a hike and you notice that the line of telephone wires you have been following along a slope is crooked. Two of the posts are much farther down slope then the others. What has likely oc?
What has likely occurred is a phenomenon known as slope creep. Slope creep is the slow, gradual movement of soil and rock downhill due to gravity. This movement can cause the telephone wires to become misaligned as the posts are shifted over time. Factors such as moisture content, slope angle, and the type of soil or rock can contribute to slope creep.
What is a slope on a linear graph?
The slope is the magnitude of the line upwards or downwards, commonly referred to as "rise over run". The rise is how much the graph goes up in a certain distance, and the run is how much the graph goes over horizontally that same distance. To find the slope in that situation, you have to divide the rise by the run.
Change in y over the change in x?
This is known as the slope. It is how you go up divided by how much you go in the horizontal direction. The letter m is often used for slope.
Can you undefine the slope of a horizontal line?
Any line, except a vertical line has a well defined slope. It cannot be undefined. In much the same way as you cannot be undefined!
