How do you graph a line if given the equation in slope-intercept form?
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. To graph this, look at b. The number there is the y intercept. Look on the y axis on the graph and find the place where that number occurs. Plot that point, which will be (0, b). Then look at the m term. This is the slope. Imagine this number as a fraction. If it is a whole number, imagine it as the whole number divided by one. The fraction is the slope. The numerator is how far you move up or down, and the denomontator is how far you move left and right on the graph. Find the second point this way, then you can draw your line. Hope this helps!
How do you know if the slope is zero from a graph?
A line on a graph with zero slope is a horizontalline.' Y ' is the same number at every point on the line.
What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
What equation has a steeper line?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
What is the slope of a perpendicular line if the slope of a line is -13?
A perpendicular lines slope is always the negative or opposite reciprocal of a lines slope. Therefore, if your slope is -13/1 then the perpendicularity of the other line is 1/13. The 13 would change positive there fore its its already a negative number then change it posiive.
