Is slope equation the same thing as slope intercept form?
Well slope intercept form is y=mx+b and slope equation can be the same formula, except it might be interpreted in a different way. although, i may be wrong.
How might you use a slope of a line to determine the unit rate?
he he he... you dont :)
How does the slope affect the steepness of a line?
The larger the absolute value of the slope if, the more vertical, or steeper, the line is. A horizontal line has slope 0, a line that is just a very little bit steep, might have slope, 1/10, a line that is very steep might have slope 10/1 or 10, or even 1000000 and as that number gets bigger and bigger, the line becomes almost vertical. For practical purposes, the slope, or steepness, of the line can be determined by rise over run, or, with a 0/0 intercept, then y over x, or, y1-y2 over x1-x2.
The most common parameter variable used to represent slope is m What would happen if the slope parameter was changed to a as in y equals ax?
m is a Latin variable and it represents slope. Therefore, y=ax will not make sense because the a might represent area.
How does the slope between two perpendicular lines compare?
If two lines in a plane are perpendicular, then one of the following applies:1) Either one line is horizontal (slope zero) and the other is vertical (slope undefined), 2) Or the product of their slopes is equal to -1. For example, one line might have a slope of 2, and the other, -1/2.
