No, a positive slope is not always steeper than a negative slope. The steepness of a slope is determined by its absolute value, regardless of its sign. For example, a slope of +3 is steeper than a slope of -2, but a slope of +1 is less steep than a slope of -5. Thus, it depends on the specific values of the slopes being compared.
What else can I help you with?
Steeper lines have a?
larger slope if positive and a smaller slope if negative
Is a negative slope steeper than a posotive slope?
In general, the steepness of a slope is determined by its absolute value, not the sign. A negative slope indicates a downward trend, while a positive slope indicates an upward trend. If both slopes have the same absolute value, they are equally steep, but a negative slope will visually appear to descend, while a positive slope will ascend. Thus, a steeper slope can be negative or positive, depending on its absolute value.
Which is typically steeper a positive or negative slope?
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).
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.

There's absolutely no connection or correlation whatsoever between the steepness and the direction of a slope.
Is a slope of a line always positive?
No because the slope of a line can be positive or negative
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.
What does this tell you about the change in the velocity of the cart?
The positive slope of the velocity-time graph indicates that the cart is accelerating. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration. If the slope is negative, it indicates the cart is decelerating.
The slope of a line is always positive?
Not always because it can also be negative

What does the slope of the instantaneous speed-vs-time graph represented?
The slope of the instantaneous speed-vs-time graph represents the acceleration of the object. A positive slope indicates the object is accelerating in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates acceleration in the negative direction. The steeper the slope, the greater the magnitude of the acceleration.
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.
