Who is steeper?

What does the slope of a line represent in a graph?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how steep the line is.

How do you determine which line is steeper between two linear equations?

Back

To determine which line is steeper, compare the absolute values of their slopes. The line with the greater absolute value of the slope is steeper.

If a line has a slope of -2, what does this indicate about its steepness and direction?

Back

A slope of -2 indicates that the line is steep and descends from left to right.

What is the significance of a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the independent variable (x) increases, the dependent variable (y) decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

How can you identify the slope of a line from its graph?

Back

The slope can be identified by selecting two points on the line, calculating the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x) between those points.
