Which of the following are the correct properties of slope?

A.Lines that are equally steep should have the same slope.B.The slope of a steep line should be bigger than the slope of a flat line.D.Lines that go up from left to right should have a positive slope.E.Lines that go down from left to right should have a negative slope.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------B.The slope of a flat line should be close to 0.C.The slope of a flat line is smaller than the slope of a steep line.E.A negative slope means that the line moves down from left to right


Why should cat food go faster on a slope than soup?

Soup just draaaaiiiiins its way down, slowly, while a ball of catfood rolls down the slope quite quickly.


Why is it more difficult to go up a slope than coming down?

To ascend a slope, you have to overcome the force of gravity that is pulling down on you. Coming down a slope, gravity will tend to accelerate your descent (as it would when sliding down a hill). Although you still have to lift your feet from the ground (opposing gravity) if you are walking, you do not have to lift your body through the entire step, as you do when going uphill.


When the right side point is lower than the left side point what is the sign of the slope?

The sign of the slope is negative because going from left to right the slope decreases or goes down. If the slope were to increase or go up, the sign would be positive. Hope I helped! SLS


Why do coyotes go after colts?

Coyotes go after colts mostly because they know they will be easier to take down than the larger animals.


How do you know when to go up or down on a slope?

If the y value in Y/X is a negative.


How do you show the sequence of steps in calculating the slope of the line?

As you go from reading the given information to knowing the slope of the line, just write down each thing you do.


What does slope have to do with distance?

The slope distance, like walking up a hill, is always longer than the horizontal distance. A map shows horizontal (flat) distance and does not take onto account the extra distance to go up and down from one point to another.


How does gravity affect cycling?

Towards the center of the Earth. Really. Down, basically. If you're trying to go uphill, you'll get pulled backwards. If you're going downhill, you'll get pulled forwards, because of the slope of the hill and the action of the wheels.


How do you figure out the slope of a line when the y-intercept is -1?

If you had a problem like this... y=3x-1 you would go down 1 point on the graph and point it then go up three and over one as the slope.
