A line with a constant y-value and a slope of 0 is known as a horizontal line.
Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.
No, slope and initial value are not the same. The slope refers to the steepness or incline of a line on a graph, whereas the initial value represents the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
Yes, it can be the slope of an infinite number of lines. As long as the y-value goes down one for every time the x-value increases by one, the line has a slope of -1.
The formula for the slope of a line in mathematics is m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1. The slop of the line describes the steepness so a higher value slope means a steeper slope.
The slope of a line is the change in y coordinates divided by the change in x coordinates. Zero is the slope of a flat line. The steeper the line, the greater the value of the slope. For instance a slope of 587 is steeper than a slope of 48. A vertical line is not given a slope measurement - it is said to be indeterminate, so there is no representation for the "steepest" line. An extremely steep line will have a slope value approaching plus or minus infinity.
answer
A line with a constant y-value and a slope of 0 is known as a horizontal line.
A negative slope is a slope occurs whenever an increase in the x value of the equation of a line causes the y value to decrease. If you're looking at the graph, the line with slope downwards from left to right.
Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.
No, slope and initial value are not the same. The slope refers to the steepness or incline of a line on a graph, whereas the initial value represents the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
The slope is[ (y-value of 'b') - (y-value of 'a') ] / [ (x-value of 'b') - (x-value of 'a') ]
If you're given an existing point and the slope of the line, then yes - the y-intercept depends on the slope.

Yes, it can be the slope of an infinite number of lines. As long as the y-value goes down one for every time the x-value increases by one, the line has a slope of -1.
The formula for the slope of a line in mathematics is m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1. The slop of the line describes the steepness so a higher value slope means a steeper slope.
Slope is the "steepness" of a line. If the line is on a grid, it can be calculated by dividing rise/run. If the line is given in the form of the equation y = mx + b the slope is the value of m.
