There are some relationships but not all relationships are always true. Any function can be represented by an equation. But all equations are not functions. For example, y = sqrt(x) is the equation of the square root relationship which can be graphed as a parabola on its side, but it is not a function. It has slopes at each point. Some functions can be plotted as graphs but not all. A function such as f(x) = 1 when x is rational, and f(x) = 0 when x is irrational has no slope and cannot be plotted as a graph. A graph of a vertical line is not a function.
Slopes that are dangerously high and/or steep.
can a line have two slopes
same slopes = parallel lines
The slopes of the opposite sides are equal.
Agar slopes are primarily used for the maintenance and cultivation of pure microbial cultures in a solid medium. They are useful for observing colony morphology, isolating individual colonies, and for long-term storage of microbial cultures.
Agar is made from algae and is used as a from of Gelatin or binder. It was discovered in Japan in the 1650's.
Lactose is used as a selective nutrient in the agar as not all microbes can process lactose
Agar in Potato dextrose agar serves as a solidifying agent to provide a gel-like consistency that allows for the growth of microorganisms. It also helps to evenly distribute nutrients throughout the medium to support the growth of fungi and bacteria.
Glucose in Plate Count Agar provides a carbon source for microbial growth. It serves as an energy source for bacteria to proliferate and form visible colonies on the agar plate.
Agar, or agar-agar, is not a grain, but rather an extract of seaweed. Agar translates to German as Agar-Agar Try whole- or health-food stores
Nutrient agar plates: used for general growth of most bacteria. Blood agar plates: used to differentiate bacteria based on their ability to hemolyze red blood cells. MacConkey agar plates: used to differentiate lactose-fermenting bacteria from non-lactose fermenters based on their ability to grow and ferment lactose.
Iodine in Czapek Dox agar is added as a source of iodine for microbial growth. It is essential for the growth of certain fungi that require iodine for metabolic processes.

Approximately 2 teaspoons of agar agar powder is equivalent to 7 grams.
EMB agar is used for the selective and differential isolation of fecal coliforms, particularly Escherichia coli, in water, milk, and other biological material. It contains lactose, eosin, and methylene blue dyes that inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and help differentiate lactose fermenters (such as E. coli) that produce dark colonies with a greenish metallic sheen.
