That's because lines, or curves, can have different slopes.

∙ 7y agoIf your slope was always 1, then there would be no point in having a name for it. All linear equations would be of the form y = x + c for different values of c.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of .33?
Perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1. As this is always true, if we think of .33 as about 1/3, then the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/(1/3) which is -3.
Who invented the slope of a line?
The slope was always there
For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.
Lines always have a slope of zero.?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of zero. (i.e completely flat, level surfaces have a slope of zero). However a line does not have to have a slope of zero in order to be a line.
What is the slope equation of y equals 1.5x-4.5?
6
Should slope always equal about 1?
No.
Slope of a line that starts in quadrant 3 and ends in quadrant 1?
The slope is always positive A negative slope will always pass through quadrant II and IV

What slope do horizontal lines always have?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of 0.
If one slope is -1 what is the slope of the perpendicular slope?
The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.
What is the slope of a perpendicular line if the slope of a line is -13?
A perpendicular lines slope is always the negative or opposite reciprocal of a lines slope. Therefore, if your slope is -13/1 then the perpendicularity of the other line is 1/13. The 13 would change positive there fore its its already a negative number then change it posiive.
If AB is parallel to CD and the slope of CD is one over two what is the slope of AB?
The slope of line AB will be 1/2. Two parallel lines will always have the same slope, so if you know the slope of one line that is parallel to another, you know the other line's slope.
For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.
What is the slope of the perpendicular to the line whose equation is y equals 5x-7?
12
Lines always have a slope of zero.?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of zero. (i.e completely flat, level surfaces have a slope of zero). However a line does not have to have a slope of zero in order to be a line.
What is the slope of the line 5y minus 1x equal 11?
5Y - X = 11 ( the 1 coefficient is always implied, not written )5Y = X + 11Y = (1/5)X + 11/5m(slope) = 1/5===========
