For the function in front of you, the slope is?
To determine the slope of the line shown on the graph, we perform a visual analysis:
Therefore, by observing the direction of the line, we conclude that the slope of the function is negative. This positional evaluation confirms that the correct answer is negative slope.
Negative slope
For the function in front of you, the slope is?
Think of walking up a hill versus down a hill! Upward slope (left to right) = positive, like climbing up. Downward slope = negative, like going downhill.
A horizontal line has zero slope (no rise). A vertical line has undefined slope because you can't divide by zero!
Not for this question! You only need to determine if it's positive or negative by looking at the line's direction. The visual method is faster than calculating.
Look for these clues: Does the line go up-right (positive) or down-right (negative)? Even a slight tilt in either direction tells you the slope sign.
No! A straight line has only one constant slope throughout its entire length. Only curved lines can change from positive to negative slope.
