yes, because slope is rise over run, if you have a slope of 2, it goes up 2 and then over 1, if you have a slope of say, 6, it will go up 6 and then over 1

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.
It gets steeper.
It rotated the line about the point of intersection with the y-axis.
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
As m, in the equation y=mx+b, gets bigger the line begins to get steeper.
