Above the x axis, a steeper slope means more positive and therefore a faster rate of change of y with respect to x. This rate increases as the slope goes more and more away from the x axis.
Below the x axis a steeper slope means more negative and therefore a faster rate of change of y with respect to x in the negative side. This rate increases as the slope goes more and more away from the x axis.
For a distance vs. time graph. A steep positive slope means higher velocity.
A steeper negative slope means higher velocity in the direction opposite to motion (declaration in a way).
makes line steeper or flatter
The slope of a line on a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity. The steeper the line is and the greater the slope of the line is, the faster the object is moving.
In algebra, as in the physical world, steeper means closer to vertical.
larger slope if positive and a smaller slope if negative
The number shows how steep it is, the sign is whether it is going up or coming down. So 2 is a slope upwards and -3 is a steeper slope down
It changes in x and in y
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
It gets steeper.
makes line steeper or flatter
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
A less steep slope indicates a slower velocity than that of a steeper slope.
The slope of a line on a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity. The steeper the line is and the greater the slope of the line is, the faster the object is moving.
For a positive number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets steeper when plotted on a graph. For a negative number, as the slope(y=mx+b where m is the slope) gets greater in value, the line gets less steep when plotted on a graph.
A slope of -3 is steeper.
