Who is steeper?

Front

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 two lines have slopes of 2 and -3, which line is steeper?

Back

The line with a slope of 2 is steeper than the line with a slope of -3, since we consider absolute values.

What is the relationship between the slope and the steepness of a line?

Back

The greater the absolute value of the slope, the steeper the line. A positive slope indicates an upward trend, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend.
