If the slope is deceased from 1, the line will start at 45° and incline less until it is horizontal.

Explanation:

A line with a slope equal to 1 lies at an angle of #45°# to the horizontal.
(the vertical displacement = horizontal displacement)

A line with a slope = 0 is a horizontal line.

So if the slope is deceased from 1, the line will start at 45° and incline less until it is horizontal.
