Answer with explanation:

Equation of Line in slope Intercept form is,

y = m x + c

→m= tan Ф, where , Ф is the angle made by line with Positive Direction of X axis.

As, 0°≤ Ф ≤ 360°

As,slope gets smaller and Smaller,of any line, the Line becomes coincident with X axis.

→→Graph of line = X axis, and equation of X axis is , y=0.

As the absolute value of the slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets ?-example-1
