When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets what?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
When the value of a slope gets bigger the graph of a line gets?
As the slope gets bigger the graph becomes closer to vertical - from bottom left to top right.
When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the gralh line gets?

Why use slopes?
The slope of a graph provides general information about a graph. It tells you how much the y value of the graph increases (or decreases, if the slope is negative) for a given increase in x value. if you look at the general equation of a graph y = a x + b the value "a" represents the slope and the "b" value represents the value of y when x = 0. When the graph is not a straight line, the discussion gets more complicated, however the slope still describes changes in the value of the graph (you have to use calculus for this situation.)
