Question

Could you explain this to me real quick?

Answer 1

So im dealing with a slope. And the slope using rise/ run is 3/3... Would i keep it as 3/3 or would it change it to 1 or what would i do?

Answer 2

@dan815

Answer 3

Also since the slope is 3/3 would there be a reciprocal slope?

Answer 4

Well, you can simplify it to 1, and the slope would \[\frac{ 1 }{ 1 }\] c:

Answer 5

It wouldn't change anything, it just would make the slope line more filled with points! c:

Answer 6

Would the reciprocal be -1?

Answer 7

The reciprocal of the slope would just be the same c:

Answer 8

I think you're talking about the reciprocal of a different method. For slopes, you would just flip it :3

Answer 9

*reciprocal

Answer 10

I thought reciprocals always multiply together to equal -1

Answer 11

Oh, yes, then flip the sign, sorry about that xP c:

Answer 12

What do you mean flip the sign?

Answer 13

When I say flip the sign, I put instead of a positive, it turns into a negative c:

Answer 14

So we have 1/1 then the negative reciprocal would be -1/1?

Answer 15

yes! :3

Answer 16

okay so what would the opposite slope of 1/1 be? -1/1 again right?

Answer 17

Answer 18

Yes, the reciprocal would be either \[\frac{ -1 }{ 1 } \]

or \[\frac{ 1 }{ -1 }\]

doesn't matter if you put the negative on top or bottom, the slope line would be the same c:

Answer 19

okay thank you!!! I think if figured it out :)

Answer 20

My pleasure! :DD

Do you understand, or are you a bit confused? >.<
