if we are considering the ascending line as which increases as the x & y co-ordinate increases then it must have a posetive slope.
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
The lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is -1, what is the slope of the red line?
If a line has a slope m then a line perpendicular to it has a slope -1/m ( negative inverse). For example if a line has slope positive 2, its perpendicular has slope -1/2
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.
the formula for slope is y=mx+b, a horizontal line has the slope of zero and the slope of a vertical line can be answered as undefined
a vertical line has an undefined slope, while a horizontal slope has a slope of zero.
Undefined slope.

Points: (10, 8) and (15, 8) Slope: 0 It will be a straight horizontal line
Ascending means going up and descending means going down. Ex: The elevator was ascending. The skier was descending the mountain slope.
A horizontal line parallel to x axis (slope = 0)
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
A horizontal line, such as Y = 3, has a slope of zero.Slope is the limit, as delta x approaches zero, of delta y / delta x.
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
