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.
Determine which line is steeper by finding out which has a greater rise over run. I trust you know what rise over run is. You can determine which has a greater rise over run by dividing the rise by the run, and then whichever line has the largest decimal is the steepest.
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
The equation is the definition of the line.If the line is undefined, then it has no equation.
If it is a straight line, then the equation is linear.
As m, in the equation y=mx+b, gets bigger the line begins to get steeper.
Depends on the gradient or slope of the lines.
The slope of a line is the vertical change when you move one unit to the left or right.With a larger slope, a line becomes steeper, and with a smaller slope it becomes more shallow. y=mx+b This is an equation for a line. It's called the point-slope form. In this equation, m is the slope.

The higher the gradient, the more steeper the line will be.

I won't tell you directly, but I will explain how to find out to you. In the type of equation you are faced with now (y=mx+b), m represents the slope. So, in y=3x+10, the slope is 3. Now, find the slope of the other equation and see which is greater. Lines with greater slopes are steeper.
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
It means the slope is steeper
It gets steeper.
it is less dense
makes line steeper or flatter
