Yes, of course. If your slope is anything over 1, such as 4/1, you can also write it as 4.

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.
How many solutions are ther for slope lines have?
The slope of a line on a graph can be zero, or any positive or negative real whole number or fraction or decimal.
Can slope be written as a whole number instead of a fraction?
Only if it happens to BE a whole number. As you probably know, you can't "convert" a fraction to a whole number, without losing precision. But the slope may well happen to be a whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, -1, etc. (or close enough to a whole number).
What if your slope isn't a whole number?
That is perfectly normal. The slope of the graph for converting inches to centimetres is not a whole number!
A line connecting 5 6 to another point has an undefined slope What is the closest point on this line with whole number coordinates below 5 6?
There is no general answer to this question. If the line slope is undefined, it can be zero, corresponding to a horizontal line, and in that instance no other point on the line has both whole number coordinates lower than 5 6 because every point on the line has 6 as its second coordinate. If the slope is undefined because the line is vertical, every point on the line will have a first coordinate of 5. Furthermore, it is possible in principle to draw a line with a slope equal to some irrational number through the point 5 6 that never has integers for both coordinates at any other point.
Can a whole number be a slope?
Yes. The graph of [ Y = 9x ] has a slope of 9 .
How do you find the slope intercept of a vertical line?
A vertical line on a graph has infinite slope and no y-intercept. Its equation is [ x = a number ]. The number is the line's x-intercept.
What is the slope of the line x-4?
You can always find out the slope of a line by looking at the number before the variable. As you can see, there is no number in front of x, so how is there a slope? If X is ever alone, that means that there is one X, so the slope of the line is 1.

What is an undefined slope?
Any number from 0 up. Example: Whole Number: 5 Not a Whole Number: 5.5
What is the slope of a line?
The slope of a line refers to how steep the line is. Given two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the slope can be found by this formula: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1). If the number is positive, the line goes up. If the slope is negative, the line goes down. If the slope is zero, the line is horizontal and if the slope is undefined because the denominator is 0, the line is vertical.
What is the slope for -23?
Two or more coordinates are needed to determine the slope of a line
