dude:

Look at the farthest left side graph, what would be the equation of that line?

Falconmaster:

-5/2 ?

dude:

ahMP8YScRfCBTWEH5xYSTw.png The equation of this line

Falconmaster:

I dont see it I am not smart

dude:

Hmmm okay lets start off with this question, what is the slope of this line?

Falconmaster:

there is no slope right? because it is straght

dude:

Incorrect, it does have a slope it just doesn't need to be written in this case

Falconmaster:

Oh well I suck at this

dude:

Vertical lines have undefined slopes, for horizontal lines its slope will always be 0. Do you know the y-intercept? We're trying to get the equation of the line in \[y=mx+b\]

Falconmaster:

0?

Falconmaster:

Im not good with graphs at all

dude:

Yes, it is not increasing by any number - Each x value has the same y value

Falconmaster:

okay thanks

Falconmaster:

I watched it I think I understand the lines

dude:

Yay! So what the slope of the line we were talking about?

Falconmaster:

A slope of 0?

dude:

Yes but in \[y=mx+b\]

Falconmaster:

hold on

Falconmaster:

https://www.mathsisfun.com/gradient.html I found this on the inter net is it right?

dude:

Yes

Falconmaster:

okay then it would be 0/5=0 but i have a feeling that is now want you want me to find

Falconmaster:

if there are negative slopes and postie slops couldn't you say that the line is a neutral slope?

dude:

Not sure what you are referring to |dw:1509055065961:dw|

Falconmaster:

idk how to explane it...

dude:

Oh okay not sure if this is what you're thinking but you're talking about if both positive and negative slopes were combined they would form a neutral slope?
