If the slope of a line is 6/8. Which of these is not true?
a) The line passes through the origin
b) The line passes through the point (3,4)
c) The line is steeper than a line with slope 4/5
d) The line is less steep than a line with slope 3/4
Answer: d) The line is less steep than a line with slope 3/4. This is not true since 6/8 simplifies to 3/4, so the line has the same slope as a line with slope 3/4. Therefore, d) is the incorrect statement.
To determine which statement is not true, we need to consider the properties of slopes and check each statement:
1. The slope is positive: Since 6/8 is positive, this statement is true.
2. The slope is negative: Since 6/8 is not negative, this statement is true.
3. The slope is zero: Since 6/8 is not zero, this statement is true.
4. The slope is undefined: Since the slope is a fraction and not a vertical line, this statement is not true.
Therefore, statement 4 is not true. The slope of 6/8 is defined.
