Slope of a straight line is the same at all points on the line, whereas for a curved line it changes.

How do you tell whether a graph shows a constant or variable rate of change?

The slope of each point on the line on the graph is the rate of change at that point. If the graph is a straight line, then its slope is constant. If the graph is a curved line, then its slope changes.


What is Linear and Non-Linear Relationships?

A linear relationship means that the slope of the line is proportional, which means that the line is straight. In contrast to the linear realtionship, the non-linear relationship's slope is not proportional and the line will curved and not straight. Formula of calculating the slope is the difference of y divided by the difference of x.


What type of correlation is a straight line with no slope?

The straight line with no slope is a point


How the slope of a curved line at a point can be found?

The slope of a curved line at a point is the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point. If you know the equation of the curve and the curve is well behaved, you can find the derivative of the equation of the curve. The value of the derivative, at the point in question, is the slope of the curved line at that point.


What is difference between a straight line and a curved line?

a straight line is mainly x2 a curved line is mainly x3


What is the slope of a curve line?

The slope of a curved line changes as you go along the curve and so you may have a different slope at each point. Any any particular point, the slope of the curve is the slope of the straight line which is tangent to the curve at that point. If you know differential calculus, the slope of a curved line at a point is the value of the first derivative of the equation of the curve at that point. (Actually, even if you don't know differential calculus, the slope is still the value of the function's first derivative at that point.)


Are line segments only straight or can they be curved?

If it is not straight, then it is not a line.


How can you use the graph of velocity versus time to estimate the acceleration of the ball?

The acceleration of the ball can be estimated by calculating the slope of the velocity versus time graph. If the graph is a straight line, the slope represents the acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration. If the graph is curved, the instantaneous acceleration can be estimated by finding the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the curve.


Does a curved line have a fixed value for its slope in economics?

No. This is true for any curved line, not just in economics.


Is a curved line a line segment?

Yes, technically a curved line can be a line segment, a line in general is something that can be curved or straight


How can you tell if a slope is zero or undefined?

A slope is 0 if it is a straight horizontal line. A slope is undefined if it is a straight vertical line.


What is a curve line?

A curved line is a line that is not straight.
