A line that slopes to the right and up has a positive slope.
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.
For the same reason that south facing slopes in the northern hemisphere are warmer than north facing slopes. From the point of view of the Earth, the sun never strays farther from the equator than the 2 tropics. So in the south the angle of the sun on a south facing slope is always lower than for a north facing slope (in some places it might always be in shadow). For this reason (more direct sunlight) people put solar energy panels on north facing slopes in the south, and the opposite in the north.
An undefined slope is just a line straight down. The slope is undefined.
positive slope negative slope undefined slope zero slope
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.
The snow on the south-facing slope of the Himalayas melts more quickly than on the north-facing slope primarily due to increased sunlight exposure. South-facing slopes receive more direct sunlight throughout the day, leading to higher temperatures that accelerate the melting process. In contrast, the north-facing slopes are shaded for most of the day, resulting in cooler temperatures and slower melting rates. Additionally, the south-facing slopes may have lower humidity, further contributing to faster snowmelt.
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.
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.
The same slope
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
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.
