To get the slope of an equation just differentiate it with respect to the independent variable.
d/dx (y = a)
dy/dx = d/dx (a)
{dy/dx = y'} a has no x term so {d/dx (a) = 0}
y' = 0 and since y' represents the slope, the slope is equal to 0
Or you could just know that a y=a is a horizontal line, therefore the slope is always 0, no matter what a equals.
y equals 3x has the greater slope.
Slope is 6.
The slope is -3 .
y=x y=1x The slope is one.
That line is horizontal on the graph. Its slope is zero.
y equals 3x has the greater slope.
Slope is 6.
The slope is -3 .
y=x y=1x The slope is one.
If the equation of a line is [ Y = -2 ] the the line is horizontal. Its slope is zero.
That line is horizontal on the graph. Its slope is zero.
Slope = 4
Since the equation y = -4 represents a horizontal line, then the slope of the line is 0.
The line y = 6 is horizontal and has a slope of zero, as does any line that is parallel to it.
The equation of a line is of the form y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Therefore, the slope of the line y = 6x is 6.
Zero. Y=4 is a horizontal line.
Slope of a line perpendicular to x-y=16
