How can you tell from a graph on a line what type of slope it has?
If the line slants up and to the right, it has a positive slope. If it is slanting up and to the left, it has a negative slope.
What is a slope when dealing with graph?
The slope for a straight line graph is the ratio of the amount by which the graph goes up (the rise) for every unit that it goes to the right (the run). If the graph goes down, the slope is negative. For a curved graph, the gradient at any point is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point.
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets what?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
Do rising lines always have negative slopes?
If a line on a graph is rising as it goes from left to right, it has a positive slope. If it is falling from left to right (or rising from right to left) it has a negative slope. If it is horizontal, it has a slope of zero.
