Slope of a line describes the what of the line?
slope or gradient describes how steep or gentle the line is like gradient (m) = 2 is less steep compared to m = 100 negative m will give u a line sloping downwards from left to right positive m will give u a line sloping upwards from left to right
What word describes the slope of the line passing through points (5, 12) and (5, -13)?
No, it's actually B, undefined. The line is a vertical line. Vertical lines have an undefined slope because the formula for slope is rise over run, and run is 0. You cannot divide by 0 so the answer is undefined.
Which describes the slope of this line?

How do u describe a slope of a line?
angel -4y = -3x +10 4y = 3x - 10 y= 3/4x - 10/4 this is the standard slope intercept format for a line equation slope is 3/4 three quarters for every 3 points of y axis, x axis changes 4 points. chente
Describe the lines that have a positive slope, a negative slope, slope=0, and an undefined slope.?
No, it would be undefined, If you graph y=1/x, the closer x is equal to zero the closer is y too infinity or minus infinity and it never stops getting closer but will never get there. (this is where limits come in). The graph will never pass through x = 0 therefore it doesn't exist, undefined. A function cannot have a vertical slope, for example, if a function has 2 points on the same vertical axis, that means you get 2 different answers for same equation, which doesn't make sense and is impossible: y=1+1 , y cannot equal 2 or 3 or 4, y is equal to 2 and only 2.
Which of the following describes the slope of a line when every point on the line has a negative y-coordinate?
D. Zero In order for every point to have a negative y-coordinate the line could not slope; so it must be flat. Example y = -2 The slope is 0
Which of the following does not describe the slope of a line?
1 , 2 , 3 are correct because : raise = vertical change = y2-y1( y2 not y power 2 ) run = horizontal change = x2-x1 and slope is said to be differece of y / differnce of x number 4 is wrong it says diff of x / diff of y so the wrong answer is sure number 4
Which of the following describes the graph of the line x = -4?
Vertical line with undefined slope. Slope is defined as: the change in y over the change in x. This means that if y is 1 and then y is 2, and x is 2 and then x is 4, it would look like this 2-1 over 4-2 That's 1/2. So the slope would be 1/2. In this case: x = -4 So x never changes, it's always 0. Which means that the slope has a denominator (the lower number of the fraction) of 0 because it never changes. But, you can't divide anything by 0. That's called undefined. So that's why its a vertical line with undefined slope. (If you graphed it you would see that it's vertical.) Hope that helps!
