If the slope is negative, y decreases as x increases. The slope goes from top-left of the graph (Quadrant II) to the lower-right of the graph (Quadrant IV).

What happens when m decreases but still greater than 0?

If you raise the value of "m" then the graph increases depending on whether the slope is negative or positive


Is a negative slope steeper than a posotive slope?

In general, the steepness of a slope is determined by its absolute value, not the sign. A negative slope indicates a downward trend, while a positive slope indicates an upward trend. If both slopes have the same absolute value, they are equally steep, but a negative slope will visually appear to descend, while a positive slope will ascend. Thus, a steeper slope can be negative or positive, depending on its absolute value.


What is an negative slope?

A negative slope is a slope occurs whenever an increase in the x value of the equation of a line causes the y value to decrease. If you're looking at the graph, the line with slope downwards from left to right.


The equation yax describes the graph of a line if the value of a is negative the line?

If the value of ( a ) is negative in the equation ( yax ), the line will have a negative slope. This means that as the value of ( x ) increases, the value of ( y ) will decrease, resulting in a downward slant from left to right. The line will intersect the y-axis at the point where ( x = 0 ), and its steepness will depend on the magnitude of ( a ).


The slope of a line is the ratio of what?

Rise/run or y-value change (can be negative) / x-value change (can be negative)


Does the value of g become more negative or more positive as the temperature increases?

As the temperature increases, the value of g becomes more negative.


What Happens to the graph of a line when the slope is negative check all that apply?

A. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper B. The line goes up from left to right C. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep D. The line goes down from left to right E. The line shifts down


Can Km be a negative value?

No the Km can never be a negative value. The Km increases or decreases with temperature. An incorrect calculation can produce a negative value.


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.)


What does an positive slope look like?

a positive slope is a slope which increases in value "y" as well as its value for "x" i.e. (0,0)(2,2) would be listed as positive because the values increase olong the slope of the line


How do the y value change as the x value increase if the line is a negative slope?

the Y value decreases.


When does the equation yax describes the graph of a lines if the value of a is a negative what is the line?

When the equation (y = ax) describes the graph of a line and (a) is negative, the line has a negative slope. This means that as the value of (x) increases, the value of (y) decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right. The line will intersect the origin (0,0) and will extend infinitely in both directions.
