What line is steeper a positive or a negative?

There's absolutely no connection or correlation whatsoever between the steepness and the direction of a slope.


How does a graph line with a steeper slpoe compare to one with a shallower slope?

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).


Without graphing how can you tell which slope is steeper?

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.


What equation has a steeper line?

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.


For a negative slope the rise is and the run is positive?

For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.


Which is steeper...a slope of -1 or a slope of -3?

A slope of -3 is steeper.


Is there a relationship between the sign of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x-axis?

Yes, there a relationship between the sign (positive or negative) of the slope of a line and the angle the line makes with the x-axisWhen a line slopes up from left to right, it has a positive slope. This means that a positive change in y is associated with a positive change in x. The steeper the slope the greater the rate of change in y in relation to the change in x.When a line slopes down from left to right, it has a negative slope. This means that a negative change in y is associated with a positive change in x.


What is the difference between positve and negative correlation?

Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper lines


How do you know when the slope of a line is negative?

You know when the slope of a line is negative when m in the slope-intercept form equation y=mx+b is negative. For example, y=-3x+2 has a negative slope since m (which is -3 in this case) is negative. This is the same when finding a positive slope, because if m is positive, then the slope is positive.


Is a slope of a line always positive?

No because the slope of a line can be positive or negative
