What type of slope does a line that slopes upward have?
A line that slopes to the right and up has a positive slope.
Why are north facing slopes in the southern hemisphere warmer than south facing slopes?
North facing slopes in the southern hemisphere receive more direct sunlight than south facing slopes, providing them with more warmth. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the angle at which sunlight strikes the slopes. The sunlight on north facing slopes is able to penetrate more deeply into the terrain, resulting in warmer temperatures compared to south facing slopes.
How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?
You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.
Do undefined slopes have a slope?
An undefined slope is just a line straight down. The slope is undefined.
What is the four different types of slopes?
positive slope negative slope undefined slope zero slope
How do you find the slope at one point?
To find the slope, you must have at least two points, not one. You cannot find the slope at one point, because coordinate points do not have slopes - lines have slopes.
who invented slopes?
Slope has always existed. The wind creates sand dunes or water waves which have slopes. Running water cuts valleys out of rock and these have slope. Tectonic movements create mountains which have slope.
What are some Real examples for negative slope and positive slope?
A positive slope is simply a slope going upward on a graph from left to right. A negative slope is a slope going downward from left to right. Often, negative slopes are the reverse of positive slopes and are both depending on the person's direction.
What do the slopes of two parallel lines have?
The same slope
What is the difference between slopes of parallel lines and slopes of perpendicular lines?
Slopes of parallel lines have the same slope (they are changing at the same rate).Slopes of perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative inverse of each other, that is, their product is -1. (The slope of a vertical line is therefore undetermined, not infinity. There is no slope s that times 0 equals -1.)---Let m1 be the slope of line one and m2 be the slope of line two. Then:If the lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal, so m1 - m2 = 0.If the lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are negative inverses of each other, so= m1 - (-1/m1)= m1 + 1/m1= (m12 + 1)/m1
What kind of slopes do perpendicular slopes have?
Negative reciprocals. That is, if one line has slope m (m ≠0), then the perpendicular to it has slope -1/m. If m = 0, the slope of the perpendicular is not defined - the line is of the form x = k.
How are the seked and slopes related?
seked is another word for slope.
