What is the slope when m equals 0 and b equals 5?
The slope is normally represented by m so it is 0.
Why m represent the slope?
slope can be represented by any variables, such that, the variable representing the slope is defined. by convention, mathematicians and mathematics books authors used and are using "m" as the variable for slope. (recommended to have further historical research on this matter)
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y - 3x equals 8?
y - 3x = 8 standard form is y = mx + b m = slope y = 3x + 8 in this form slope m is 3 The perpendicular line slope is the negative inverse of m -1/m = -1/3
How do you find slope altitude?
If the slope of a line is m then the slope of an altitude to that line is -1/m.
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y equals -4x 2?
The slope is -4
What is the slope when m equals 0 and b equals 5?
The slope is normally represented by m so it is 0.
Why m represent the slope?
slope can be represented by any variables, such that, the variable representing the slope is defined. by convention, mathematicians and mathematics books authors used and are using "m" as the variable for slope. (recommended to have further historical research on this matter)
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y - 3x equals 8?
y - 3x = 8 standard form is y = mx + b m = slope y = 3x + 8 in this form slope m is 3 The perpendicular line slope is the negative inverse of m -1/m = -1/3
In the generalized slope-intercept equation of a line the slope of the line is represented as the coefficient of the variable x?
Your statement is correct. y=mx+b when m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
What does the slope of the line represent?
The slope represents the RATE OF CHANGE. Example: the distance (y) over speed (x) the formula is rise÷run or y2-y1÷x2-x1= m Slope is represented as m in the equations y=mx+b and y=mx
How is acceleration represented on a graph?
Acceleration is represented on a graph by the slope of the velocity-time graph. A positive slope indicates acceleration in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction. A horizontal line on the graph represents constant velocity, with zero acceleration.
What is the slope of the equation y equals -4x plus 7?
There is a standard equation for a straight line. It is y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (when x = 0). In the question m = -4 and is therefore the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 7.
How can you tell which equation has the steepest slope?
if you know the slope of two epuations, (if the equations are in slope intercept form (y=mx+b, y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept) the line represented by the line with the larger slope (|m|) has the steeper slope. If the lines have the same m, the slopes are either equal or negative. If the slope of either line is undefined, it is steeper than any slope other than one that is undefined, in wich the slopes are equal
Why is slope represented by the letter m?
1. slope" was once called the "modulus of slope", the word "modulus" being used in its sense of "number used to measure" 2. It is originated from the Arabic word MOMAS means tangant.1.
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y equals -4x-3?
The equation, y = -4x - 3, is written in what's called slope-intercept form. The general equation for slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. So, for the equation in question, m = -4 and b = -3. Thus, the slope of the line is -4.
What does the slope of the graph represent?
The slope of the graph represents distance over time. The distance is represented by "X," and the time is represented by "Y."
Who abbreviated m for slope?
M refers to the modulus of the slope.
