Math Problem Statement

Identify the slope as positive, negative, zero, or undefined from the graphs.

Solution

From the image, I can see a set of graphs and the task is to identify the slope for each of them (positive, negative, zero, or undefined). Let me break down the graphs:

  1. Graph 1: The line is horizontal. The slope is zero.
  2. Graph 2: The line is rising as it moves from left to right. The slope is positive.
  3. Graph 3: The line is vertical. The slope is undefined.
  4. Graph 4: The line is falling as it moves from left to right. The slope is negative.
  5. Graph 5: The line is horizontal. The slope is zero.
  6. Graph 6: The line is vertical. The slope is undefined.
  7. Graph 7: The line is rising as it moves from left to right. The slope is positive.
  8. Graph 8: The line is falling as it moves from left to right. The slope is negative.
  9. Graph 9: The line is rising as it moves from left to right. The slope is positive.

Would you like further explanations on how the slopes are determined or any specific question about these graphs?

Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you calculate the slope of a line from two points?
  2. What does it mean for a slope to be undefined?
  3. How can you identify if a graph has a positive slope without looking at the points?
  4. What is the slope formula and how is it derived?
  5. Can a graph have a negative slope and still be increasing in the y-direction?

Tip: For vertical lines, remember that the slope is always undefined because the run (horizontal distance) is zero, and you cannot divide by zero.
