Without graphing how can you tell which slope is steeper?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
What happens to a line when the slope gets bigger and bigger?
As m, in the equation y=mx+b, gets bigger the line begins to get steeper.
Why is it okay for a graph to cross one of its's horizontal asymptotes?
There is nothing in the definition of "asymptote" that forbids a graph to cross its asymptote. The only requirement for a line to be an asymptote is that if one of the coordinates gets larger and larger, the graph gets closer and closer to the asymptote. The "closer and closer" part is defined via limits.
How does changing the sign of the leading coefficient in an equation of the form y equals ax2 affect its graph?
It gets reflected in the x-axis.
What does changing the a variable do to the graph of a quadratic?
I assume this question refers to the coefficient of the squared term in a quadratic and not a variable (as stated in the question). That is, it refers to the a in ax2 + bx + c where x is the variable.When a is a very large positive number, the graph is a very narrow or steep-sided cup shape. As a become smaller, the graph gets wider until, when a equals zero (and the equation is no longer a quadratic) the graph is a horizontal line. Then as a becomes negative, the graph becomes cap shaped. As the magnitude of a increases, the sides of the graph become steeper.
When the value of a slope gets bigger the graph of a line gets?
As the slope gets bigger the graph becomes closer to vertical - from bottom left to top right.
What absolute value of the slope gets bigger the graph of a line gets?
It gets longer Apex :)
Considering the graph of a line with a negative slope what is true?
the line goes down from left to right as the absolute value of the negative slope get bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper as the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep ( apex )
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph gets?
As the slope get closer to zero, the graph becomes close to horizontal.
What Happens to the graph of a line when the slope is negative check all that apply?
A. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper B. The line goes up from left to right C. As the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep D. The line goes down from left to right E. The line shifts down
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets?
less steep (apex)
What a negative slope?
It means that when 'x' gets bigger, 'y' gets smaller. On a graph, as you ride the graph from left to right, you slip lower.
Without graphing how can you tell which slope is steeper?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
What equation has a steeper line?
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets .?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of the line gets?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
