A positive slope increases as the x-coordinates increase, a negative slope decreases as x increases, a steeper slope has a higher incline approaching vertical, and a zero slope is completely horizontal with equal y-coordinates. An undefined slope is vertical with equal x-coordinates, a flatter slope has a very low incline approaching horizontal, and slope defines the steepness or incline of a line.
1. A positive slope is a line that goes up and you can tell if it is a positive slope because the numbers will go up. Positive Slope
2. Negative Slope A negative slope is a line that goes down on a graph and you can tell when it is negative because the coordinates on the line will start to go down.
3. Steeper Slope A steeper slope is a slope that is has high incline. It is close to being a vertical wall that you can not walk up on.
4. Zero Slope A zero slope is a completely horizontal slope. This would mean on a graph that all of the y coordinates on the slope would be the same.
5. Undefined Slope An undefined slope is a slope that is vertical. This means that it goes straight up and on a graph all of the x coordinates are the same.
6. Flatter Slope flatter slope is a slope that has a very low incline. It is almost horizontal so on a graph It looks almost like a straight line.
7. Definition of Slope It is the thing of the line that describes it steepness or incline.
