You have a line:
y=mx+b (slope-intercepted form)
m=slope of this line.
The slope of a line perpendicular to that given line will be: ´"m´"
m´=-1/m.
For example:
y=8x+3
m=8
The solpe fo a line perpendicular to "y=8x+3" is:
m`=-1/8
2 because rise/run so 8/4 which=2
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) is the equation of a line. The slope intercept form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope (rise/run)
b is the y-intercepts
Any change in the value of "m", the slope, changes the line to more steeper or flatter. What affect does different slopes have?
1. 0 < m < 1 >>> the line would be less step (flatter)
2. m > 1 >>>>> Steeper line
Now, looking at equation, m is indeed between 0 and 1, so the line will be less steep, answer choice B.
