How do you make a positive slope and negative slope
A positive slope goes from lower left to upper right, while a negative slope goes from upper left to lower right.
I hope this helps. If not, please repost with more specifics.
To make a positive slope, follow these steps:
1. Choose two points on a coordinate plane. For example, let's say you choose (2, 3) and (4, 7).
2. Determine the change in the y-coordinate (vertical) between the two points. In this case, the change is 7 - 3 = 4.
3. Determine the change in the x-coordinate (horizontal) between the two points. In this case, the change is 4 - 2 = 2.
4. Calculate the slope by dividing the change in y by the change in x. In this case, the slope would be 4/2 = 2.
A positive slope means that as the x-coordinate increases, the y-coordinate also increases.
To make a negative slope, follow the same steps but choose two points that result in a decrease in the y-coordinate as the x-coordinate increases. In other words, the change in y will be negative.
For example, let's say you choose (2, 6) and (4, 3):
1. Determine the change in the y-coordinate: 3 - 6 = -3.
2. Determine the change in the x-coordinate: 4 - 2 = 2.
3. Calculate the slope: -3/2.
A negative slope means that as the x-coordinate increases, the y-coordinate decreases.
