It means that if you go from left to right, on the graph, the slope - while remaining positive - decreases.In math terms: the first derivative is positive, but the second derivative is negative. Or more informally: from left to right, the curve goes up; on the other hand, it is concave downwards.

What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?

If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'


What does it mean to the rise over run when the slope is an integer?

The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.


What does a positive slope on a velocity and time graph mean in terms of motion?

A positive slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving in the positive direction (e.g., right or up) and experiencing a constant acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration of the object.


What does a positive slope mean in a position versus time graph?

Assuming position is on the y axis and time is on the x axis, a positive slope means the position has increased over time.


In eighth grade math how do you determine the scope of line as positive negative zero or undefined?

Assuming you mean the slope of a line, not the scope, the slope of a line is determined by its rise over its run. Take 2 points on the line (x1,y1), (x2,y2) and find the slope by plugging it into this equation: (x1-x2)/(y1-y2). If the answer is positive, the slope is positive, if the answer is negative, the slope is negative, if the answer is zero, the slope is zero, and if the answer is undefined (i.e. dividing by zero), your slope is undeifined.


What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the graph of y -8x 20?

Do you mean y = -8x+20 Then if so the perpendicular slope is positive 1/8.


What does velocity slope mean?

Velocity slope refers to the rate at which velocity changes over time. A positive velocity slope indicates an increase in velocity, while a negative velocity slope indicates a decrease in velocity. The steeper the slope, the greater the rate of change in velocity.


What is the slope of a line x equals 5?

X=5 is a vertical line, so it has no slope. When I say it has no slope, I don't mean the slope is 0, I mean the slope is nonexistent.


What does the slope in a speed time graph mean?

The slope of a speed-time graph represents the acceleration of an object. A steeper positive slope indicates faster acceleration, while a negative slope indicates deceleration. A horizontal line indicates a constant speed with zero acceleration.
