Question

Play with the interactives to view the line graphs of various equations. Use positive and negative values for the slope, or m. Then explain in your journal how these slopes changed the behavior of the graph.

Basically can someone explain how slopes change the behavior of a graph when changed?

Answer 1

The higher the slope closer it is to being vertical. The lower the slope the closer it is to being horizontal.If the slope is positive Y increases as X increases if the slope is negative Y decreases as X increases.
