Why is the slope -3 steeper than the slope 2?
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
What are the properties of a slope?
The slope is the ratio of the vertical increase divided by the horizontal increase. The slope of a flat line is 0. The slope of a flatter line is smaller than the slope of a steeper line. A positive slop indicates that the line move up from left to right. A negative slope means that the line moves down from left to right.
Why is zero neither posotive or negative?
The easiest way to see it is: Positive means greater than zero Negative means less than zero So zero is neither of these.
Can two lines with a negative slope be perpendicular?
NoIf the slope of a given line is x, than the slope of the line perpendicular to the first line is 1/-x. So if the first slope is negative, the second will be positive, and vice versa.
Does a negative line have a different slope than a positive one?
Yes. If the fraction is the same, the negative slope would have at least one negative number, while the positive would have both positive numbers. I'm pretty sure. :)
Steeper lines have a what slope than that of flatter lines?
Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper lines
What is the steeper slope 30 percent or 15 percent?
30% is steeper than 15% slope.
Why is the slope -3 steeper than the slope 2?
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
Which is steeper a slope of-3 or a slope of 2?
-3, but going downwards rather than upwards.
How can you tell which equation has the steepest slope?
if you know the slope of two epuations, (if the equations are in slope intercept form (y=mx+b, y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept) the line represented by the line with the larger slope (|m|) has the steeper slope. If the lines have the same m, the slopes are either equal or negative. If the slope of either line is undefined, it is steeper than any slope other than one that is undefined, in wich the slopes are equal
What are the properties of a slope?
The slope is the ratio of the vertical increase divided by the horizontal increase. The slope of a flat line is 0. The slope of a flatter line is smaller than the slope of a steeper line. A positive slop indicates that the line move up from left to right. A negative slope means that the line moves down from left to right.
What does a less steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate?
A less steep slope indicates a slower velocity than that of a steeper slope.
What number if used as a slope would produce a graph steeper than the function y -5x?
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
Walking up a slope is easier than climbing a ladder Why?
The ladder is set at a steeper angle
Are contour lines on a slope spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep?
that isn't true. the wider apart the contour lines are than the softer the slope (not steep) if they are closer together than the slope will be alot steeper.
What does a steeper slope mean?
steep slope means that it gets to their sistance faster and ends up higher than the other HOPE THAT HELPED :D
Which value for slope represents the steepest line?
The slope of a line is the change in y coordinates divided by the change in x coordinates. Zero is the slope of a flat line. The steeper the line, the greater the value of the slope. For instance a slope of 587 is steeper than a slope of 48. A vertical line is not given a slope measurement - it is said to be indeterminate, so there is no representation for the "steepest" line. An extremely steep line will have a slope value approaching plus or minus infinity.
