Question

If one line has a slope of −3 and another has a slope of 2, which line is steeper? Why?

Answer 1

By steeper, are you measuring the absolute gradient?

Answer 2

Both kinds of lines are steep.

Answer 3

So, they can go up or down, but what you have to measure is the 'steep-level'.
You can do that by comparing the absolute values.

Answer 4

If one line has a slope of −3 and another has a slope of 2, which line is steeper? Why?
slope with -3 is steeper
it goes up 3 over 1
slope of 2 goes up 2 over 1
so even though -3 is negative it is still steeper

this is what i had for the answer

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

That is right.

Answer 7

Agree with Sharron.... line m=-3 is steeper as its change in y over change in x is more!
