Algebraically rearrange both lines to ' y = ''' Hence y = 3x & 3y = x => y = (1/3)x Since the two lines are now y = 3x & y = (1/3)x The lines y = 3x has the greater/steeper slope at '3' , Whereas the other line has a slope of ' 1/3 '. (much less steep).
Slope is 6.
y = -3x The slope is ' -3 ' . That is the line slopes down from top left to bottom right at a gradient of '3'.
y=x y=1x The slope is one.
If the equation of a line is [ Y = -2 ] the the line is horizontal. Its slope is zero.
That line is horizontal on the graph. Its slope is zero.
The equation of a line is of the form y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Therefore, the slope of the line y = 6x is 6.
Since the equation y = -4 represents a horizontal line, then the slope of the line is 0.
The line y = 6 is horizontal and has a slope of zero, as does any line that is parallel to it.
Slope = 4
When the equation of a line is written in standard form: y = mx + c, the slope of the line is m. Here, y = 3x + 5 so slope = 3
Zero. Y=4 is a horizontal line.
