Math Problem Statement

Choose whether the slope of the line is positive, negative, zero, or undefined.

Solution

From the image, the graph shows a line with a negative slope, as the line is slanting downward from left to right.

Answer:

The slope of the line is negative.

  2. How do you calculate the slope given two points on a line?
  3. What is the slope of a vertical line, and why is it undefined?
  4. How do horizontal lines relate to the concept of slope?
  5. How can the steepness of a line be interpreted in real-world contexts?

Tip: The slope of a line can be quickly identified by observing its direction: if the line moves upward from left to right, the slope is positive; if it moves downward, the slope is negative.
