Question

what does it mean to identify the relationship of a slope of a line

Answer 1

what's the whole sentence? maybe i can figure it out by context clues

Answer 2

determine the equation of these linear relationships

Answer 3

hmm nope..doesnt ring a bell sorry

Answer 4

You determine the relationship of a slope by the sign in front of the slope value. A negative slope indicates an inverse relationship between the two variables. A positive slope indicates a direct relationship between the two variables.

Answer 5

so can there be positive or negaitive relationships of a slope/

Answer 6

The "relationship" is between the two variables. The slope tells you the relationship between the variables. For example, a positive slope means that as x increases, y increases. This would indicate that there is a direct relationship between the variables, a relationship type that you derive from the + or - sign in front of your slope value.

Answer 7

-2x + 4 indicates a negative (or inverse) relationship
2x + 4 indicates a positive (or direct) relationship

Answer 8

well the slope is -6 over 5 and i dont know how to write the equation identify the relationship or determine any constants... this is my first time learning it
