The slope of a line indicates the rate of change between the y-axis and x-axis values, representing how steep the line is. A positive slope means the line rises as it moves from left to right, while a negative slope indicates it falls. A slope of zero illustrates a horizontal line, indicating no change in the y-value regardless of the x-value. Conversely, an undefined slope corresponds to a vertical line, where the x-value remains constant while the y-value changes.

What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
When the slope of a line is indefinite?
The slope of a line is undefined if the line is vertical.
If a line has a slope of -1 3 what is the slope of a perpendicular line?
The slope of a line is typically expressed as a single value, and it seems there might be a misunderstanding with the notation "-1 3." If the slope of the line is -1, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is the negative reciprocal. Thus, the slope of a perpendicular line would be 1.
What is the slope of the line shown below-4 -5 -2 1?
To determine the slope of a line, you need two points on that line. The slope (m) is calculated using the formula ( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ). However, the numbers you've provided (-4, -5, -2, 1) don't clearly indicate specific points on the line. Please provide the coordinates of two points, and I can help you find the slope.
Given a line with a slope of 1 7 what is the slope of any line that lies perpendicular to it?
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with slope m is -1/m. So for a line with slope 1/7, any line perpendicular to it will have: slope = -1 / (1/7) = -7
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a?
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
What info does the slope of a lone indicate on a distance verses time graph?
On a distance/time graph, the slope of the line is the speed. (Magnitude of velocity.)
What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?
It means there is no velocity - it is at rest and nothing is moving. The slope of the line is velocity - a horizontal line is zero slope = zero velocity
What kind of line of a distance graph indicates that the object is accelerating?
Any curved line will indicate a change in acceleration. Straight lines with slope indicate a steady velocity and straight lines with zero slope indicate a lack of motion.If the X axis (left to right) is for time and the Y axis (up and down) is for speed, it would curve up.
What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
What do you need to use the point slope formula?
The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular?
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
How do the countor lines on a topographic map indicate the slope of land?
Each contour line represents a rise in height (elevation). The closer the contour lines are on the map, the steeper is the slope.
If the slope of the green line is -3 what is the slope of the red line?
The lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is -1, what is the slope of the red line?
The slope of a line is 2 3 what is the slope of a line that is parallel to it?
if the slope of a line is 2/3, then the slope of a parallel line would be 2/3.
