Question

Which of the following are the correct properties of slope?

Check all that apply.
A. Some lines have an undefined slope.
B. The slope of a line is always positive.
C. If two lines have the same slope, then they are the same line.
mm
D. A steep line has negative slope.
I
E. The slope of a line that moves up from left to right is positive

Answer 1

Answer: A and E

Explanation:

The answer would only be E since all the others don't make sense.

Why it isn't B: The slope of a line can also be negative if the line drops from the left to right.

Why it isn't C: If two lines have the same slope, then that would mean that they are parallel.

Why it isn't D: Steep means to be sharply angles, basically perpendicular. For the line to go downhill and be steep, it will be positive.

Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

A and E

Explanation:

A because vertical lines have an undefined slope e.g x = 1

E because slope = rise/run
