a. III

b. I

c. II

3) M is the slope, the slope affects the steepness of the line

4) It changes the slope

2) A is III

B is I

C is II

3) It mirrors the line because one is negative and one is postitive.

4) It changes the steepness.

2) A goes with III, B goes with I, C goes with II

3) If m is a negative number, the line will be negative. The same goes with positive numbers.

4) The higher the value of m is, the steeper the graph will be.

It makes the lines go in opposite directions.

Daniel, Preston, Colton

2014-10-15 17:41:44 UTC

It makes the graph negative and makes it go in the opposite direction.

The slope changes direction when you add or take away negatives.

y= 2X+3 is positive while y= -2X+3 is negative.

The larger the number, the steeper the slope.

SlopenEffects the steepness of the line which in these

equations it would make it either a positive steep

line or a negative one

Colton, Preston, Daniel

2014-10-15 17:43:24 UTC

As the slope (m) increases the line gets steeper

Harrison, Garrett, and (spencer)

2014-10-15 17:44:34 UTC

When you change the value of "m" the angle of the graphed line either gets steeper or less steep.

It changes the slope of the line.

It affects the way that the line is;

positive, negative, undefined, and

0 .
