The steepness of a line on a graph is called the?
The "steepness" of a line is called the slope. The slope represents the the amount of change in the y-direction of the line per every change in the x-direction. This is represented mathematically by slope = Δy/Δx Δy is also called the "rise" and Δx is also called the "run". The steepness can also be called the gradient, which is represented by an angle. The gradient can be calculated from the slope by using the formula gradient = tan(slope).
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation y-5x equals 5?
5
what total cost of the party y can be represented by the equation y= 10x + 150 does the slope represent?
160
What is the slope and the y-intercept of the line represented in this equation?
That of course will depend entirely on the straight line equation which has not been given but in general in the equation y = mx+b the slope is m and b is the y intercept
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
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y equals -4x 2?
The slope is -4
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation y-5x equals 5?
The slope is -0.2
Would it always be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that are curved?
It would be easy to walk up a slope represented by contour lines that were widely spaced as this represents a shallow gradient / slope.
What is the slope when m equals 0 and b equals 5?
The slope is normally represented by m so it is 0.
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation x equals -3?
x = -3 represents a vertical line whose slope is undefined.
Velocity is represented graphically by what?
Velocity is the slope of the line on a D-t graph
What does the slope of the instantaneous speed-vs-time graph represented?
Instantaneous acceleration.
What is the slope of the line represented by 2x - 3y equals 4?
2/3
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)
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.

How is deceleration represented on a velocity or time graph?
a negative slope this is for my e2020 home boyz
