Exploring Slope

Question 17 • Q1 Mathematics 8

Which statement is correct?

Answer
A
A horizontal line has no slope.
A
A vertical line has a slope of zero.
A
A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope.
A
A line that falls from right to left has a negative slope.

Explanation

Slope measures the change in y divided by the change in x as you move from left to right. A line that rises from left to right has a positive change in y, so its slope is positive. A horizontal line has slope zero, while a vertical line has an undefined slope, so A and B are incorrect.
