How does the slope affect the steepness of a line?
The larger the absolute value of the slope if, the more vertical, or steeper, the line is. A horizontal line has slope 0, a line that is just a very little bit steep, might have slope, 1/10, a line that is very steep might have slope 10/1 or 10, or even 1000000 and as that number gets bigger and bigger, the line becomes almost vertical. For practical purposes, the slope, or steepness, of the line can be determined by rise over run, or, with a 0/0 intercept, then y over x, or, y1-y2 over x1-x2.
What is the slope and the y-intercept for y equals 10 plus 3x?
y-intercept is 10 slope is 3 over 1
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to line whose slope is 2 over 10?
Answer:-10/2=-5Solution:The relation between the line slope and it's perpendicular line slope is negative reciprocal, i.e.Slope of the line perpendicular = -1/Slope of the line= -1/(2/10)= -1 x 10/2= -10/2= -5
What kind of line will be formed if the line intersect at 10 8 and 15 8 what is the slope of the line?
Points: (10, 8) and (15, 8) Slope: 0 It will be a straight horizontal line
What is the slope of the line that passes through the points 3 10 and 5 7?
Points: (-3, -10) and (5, -7) Slope: 3/8
What is the slope of a ramp that has a rise of 1 inch over a run of 10ft?
Slope is equal to rise over run. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 10 feet is actually 120 inches. Therefore, the slope is equal to 1/120.
How does a contour tour map show whether a slope is gently or steep?
If the contour lines are far apart, then that indicates the land has a gentle slope (low slope).
What is the slope of the line that contains the points -2-1 and-12-2?
1 over -10.
What is the slope of 10 plus 3x?
The slope is 3.(y = mx + b, m is the slope: y=3x+10)
What is the slope of x equals 10?
It has infinite slope.
What kind of fraction is 10?
10 over 1
What is the slope of the line x equals -10?
It has infinite slope.
