What does slope describe?
the change of rise over run. a positive slope goes up and a negative slope goes down
A word for a constant rate of change?
In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change.
What equations correctly describe a line with a y intercept of 7?
The equation of a straight line in slope intercept form is y = mx + c, where y is the y coordinate of any point, x is the x coordinate of that point, m is the slope and c is the y intercept. Therefore, the equations that correctly describe a line with a y intercept of 7 would be: y = mx + 7. The individual slope would then have to be substituted into this equation.
What is the slope of a horizontial line?
The slope would be zero.In contrast, the slope of a vertical line would be infinite.
What would a graph that has a negative slope show?
It would have a downhill slope from left to right
