How do contuor lines help you to determine the area of an island has the steepest slope?
The area with the steepest slope is the area where the contour lines are bunched closest together.
What are Lines having no slope?
Lines with no slope are horizontal lines or flat lines
Lines that have the same slope in math?
Lines that have the same slope are said to be parallel lines.
Why do gentle slopes have more widely spaced lines than steep slopes?
Presumably the questions refer to contour lines. If that is the case, the answer is as follows: Contour lines are lines drawn at selected heights on a map. They are lines that join points at the same height above the meas sea level. A gentle slope is one that does not rise (or fall) as rapidly as a steep slope. That is to say, you have to travel a greater horizontal distance to gain (lose) the same amount of vertical distance or height. So, with a gentle slope, you have to travel a greater distance to get from one contour to the next and so the lines are less close together.
How does the slope between two parallel lines compare?
The slope between two parallel lines is identical. This is because parallel lines have the same slope and will never intersect. The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, and when two lines are parallel, they will have the same steepness, resulting in the same slope. Therefore, the slope between two parallel lines will always be equal.
