The coefficient of x changes as the slope changes.
Slope of a straight line is the same at all points on the line, whereas for a curved line it changes.
it gets larger
it goes down
As the slope gets smaller and smaller the line gets flatter and flatter (or more horizontal).
The coefficient of x changes as the slope changes.
The slope of a line doesn't change if you zoom in or out.
a horizontal line (slope = 0)
Slope of a straight line is the same at all points on the line, whereas for a curved line it changes.
You cannot: the slope is not defined.
it gets larger
it goes down
Why do we need to find the slope of a line? The slope of a line tells us how something changes over time. If we find the slope we can find the rate of change over that period.Why do we need to find the slope of a line?The slope of a line tells us how something changes over time.

It changes in x and in y
As the slope gets smaller and smaller the line gets flatter and flatter (or more horizontal).
Nothing particular. The graph of y = x2, for example, changes slope at each point on the graph.
It Gets Flatter!
