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).
What is a steeper slope?
In algebra, as in the physical world, steeper means closer to vertical.
Steeper lines have a?
larger slope if positive and a smaller slope if negative
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
How do contour lines determine which area of an island has the steepest slope?
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
