Question

match each slope in the first row with the graph displaying the line with that slope in the second row. drag each graph above to the area that corresponds to the given slope. items may only be used once. slope: -8, 0, 8, undefined

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope - graph relationship

A slope of 0 means a horizontal line.

Step2: Identify graph for slope 0

The first graph (from left - most) is a horizontal line, so it has a slope of 0.

Step3: Recall negative slope

A negative slope means the line falls from left to right. The graph with a negative slope among the given ones is the third graph from the left, so it has a slope of - 8.

Step4: Recall positive slope

A positive slope means the line rises from left to right. The fourth graph from the left rises steeply and has a slope of 8.

Step5: Recall undefined slope

An undefined slope means a vertical line. The second graph from the left is a vertical line, so it has an undefined slope.

Answer:

Slope 0: First graph (from left - most)
Slope - 8: Third graph (from left - most)
Slope 8: Fourth graph (from left - most)
Slope undefined: Second graph (from left - most)
