Slope is equal to the change in y divided by the change in x (also known as "rise over run"). If a slope is 18 , then it "rises" 18 units, for every 1 unit of x.

It marks the origin - the point where the horizontal and vertical axes cross.


A horizontal line on a phase change graph indicates?

A horizontal line on a phase change graph means there has been no change. Often longer periods of research are needed to see significant change.


What is the difference with horizontal and vertical?

Horizontal means going left and right: ___ Vertical means going up and down: |


What does it mean when a graph slopes up in economics?

It means that the variable plotted on the vertical axis increases as the one plotted on the horizontal axis increase.


How the continents are lying on earth if they are not vertical?

I believe you are confusing "horizontal" with "vertical". "Vertical" means "from top to bottom", or "upright". "Horizontal" means "from left to right", or "lying".


What is the difference between vertical acceleration and horizontal acceleration?

Vertical acceleration is the rate of change of velocity moving up or down, while horizontal acceleration is the rate of change of velocity moving left or right. Vertical acceleration is affected by gravity, while horizontal acceleration is typically due to external forces like friction or thrust.

What does a horizontal line mean in acceleration vs time graph?

A horizontal line on an acceleration vs. time graph indicates constant acceleration over time. This means that the object is experiencing a steady rate of change in velocity.


The ratio of vertical change to horizontal change?

the slope More often called the gradient in maths - but means the same. It's also given by differentiating the equation.


How do you graph if there is no slope?

If there is no slope in a graph, it means that the line is horizontal. A horizontal line has a slope of zero. To graph a horizontal line, you simply draw a straight line that is parallel to the x-axis. The equation of a horizontal line is typically in the form y = k, where k is a constant value.


What dose it mean to say a projectiles horizontal and vertical velocity are independent or each other?

When a projectile's horizontal and vertical velocities are independent, it means that the horizontal velocity does not affect the vertical velocity, and vice versa. This means that the projectile will continue to move horizontally at a constant velocity regardless of its vertical motion, and its vertical motion will be affected only by gravity.


Exactly vertical or perpendicular?

There is no such thing as exactly vertical because either it is vertical or it is not. You cannot have approximately vertical - it is not vertical, then. Vertical means at 90 degrees to the horizon (or horizontal).
