@dirtydan667 Let's walk on the line, can our y coordinate change as we walk?

anonymous · Answer

no they have to stay the same or else it wont work

anonymous · Answer

like the slop???

ash2326 · Answer

yes, you're right, so choose the option which has a constant value for y

anonymous · Answer

slope????

ash2326 · Answer

Do you understand the meaning of slope?

anonymous · Answer

the gradient of the line?

ash2326 · Answer

That's right, but it's definition.  Do you know how to identify if a line has +ve or -ve slope, or when it has a  0 slope?

anonymous · Answer

nah

ash2326 · Answer

Ok, I'll explain

ash2326 · Answer

Slope in simple terms is change in y over change in x. Suppose x changes by 2 and y changes by 4, then slope is 4 /2=2 and slope is positive here|dw:1376840236215:dw|
