The angle that the line makes with the axes changes.
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.
When the slope of a line increases, the line becomes steeper, indicating a greater rate of change in the y-values for each unit increase in the x-values. Conversely, if the slope decreases, the line becomes less steep, indicating a smaller rate of change. A positive slope indicates an upward trend, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend. Thus, changes in slope directly affect the angle and direction of the line on a graph.
it gets larger
it goes down
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
As the slope gets smaller and smaller the line gets flatter and flatter (or more horizontal).
It changes in x and in y
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 Gets Flatter!
Nothing particular. The graph of y = x2, for example, changes slope at each point on the graph.
