The change in the y-value over the x-value, the slope, m, (y1-y2)/(x1-x2).
The steepness of a line graph is called the "gradient" ------------------------------- or slope.
It is sometimes called the gradient.
Speed
take a vertical line, if another line intersects that vertical line at 2 points, then it is a function.In other words,a graph represents a function if each vertical line meets its graph in a unique point.
A sliding test. The vertical line can meet the graph at at most one point.
The steepness of a line graph is called the "gradient" ------------------------------- or slope.
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
No
The steepness of the line on a distance-time graph represents the radial speed of the object. That is, the speed with which the object is moving towards or away from the origin. The steepness takes absolutely no account of the transverse speed, so you can be going around the origin in a circle at a great speed but, since your distance remains the same, the D-T graph will be flat: implying speed = 0.
It is sometimes called the gradient.
assuming you're speaking of a horizontal line on a graph: It is because the line moves neither up or down. slope is the steepness of a line and a horizontal line isn't steep at all, it has no steepness.
No, slope and initial value are not the same. The slope refers to the steepness or incline of a line on a graph, whereas the initial value represents the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
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).
Speed
If you're talking about a line on a graph the steepness would be defined as the slope. Also know as rise over run. The number of units the line rises or falls divided by the number of units it goes to the right or left
The graph is a straight line.
The measure of the steepness of a line is known as a line's slope.
