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 number if used as a slope would produce a graph steeper than the function y -5x?
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
How does a graph line with a steeper slope compared to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How do you know which line is steeper in 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.
How do you calculate the equation of a line that is undefined?
The equation is the definition of the line.If the line is undefined, then it has no equation.
An equation where the graph of all solutions lies on a line?
If it is a straight line, then the equation is linear.
What happens to a line when the slope gets bigger and bigger?
As m, in the equation y=mx+b, gets bigger the line begins to get steeper.
What line is steeper line 1 or line 2?
Depends on the gradient or slope of the lines.
What does slope the math term mean?
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.
How does a gradient affect the steepness of the line?
The higher the gradient, the more steeper the line will be.
How does a line graph line with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
What line is steeper y equals 5x-2 or y equals 3x plus 10?
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.
What number if used as a slope would produce a graph steeper than the function y -5x?
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
What does It mean when a contour line is closer to another?
It means the slope is steeper
When the value of the slope gets bigger the graph of a line does what?
It gets steeper.
When measuring density what does a steeper line on your graph mean?
it is less dense
Change in slope affects graph how?
makes line steeper or flatter
True or False the steeper the demand curve the less elastic the demand curve?
It is false that the steeper the demand curve the less elastic the demand curve. The steeper line is used in economics to indicate the inelastic demand curve.
