Question

Which line is steeper? Why? 
y=2x-3   or    y=-3+2

anonymous · Answer

find the slopes and then compare the angles. $$\tan \theta = m $$
you will get which one s steeper ;)

ghazi · Answer

Draw the graph you will have which one is steeper

ghazi · Answer

Y= -1 is a constant with slope =0 so i guess it is not steep at all :)

anonymous · Answer

@ghazi ......most steeper is y-axis and least is x-axis, in the xy-plane....now here u r comparing two lines where one of them is parallel to y-axis !!!......no question of comparison if there is no typing mistake in the question!!

anonymous · Answer

Always find the slopes than drawing the graphs.....some times it may also be better to draw a graph of both the lines with atleast two points as is necessary for a line......take standard values of x=0, x=1. Find the corresponding y values..

ghazi · Answer

@satya_Balli  sorry didn't get you ?? and as far as lines are concerned ...i am sure the one in which it is bit inclined is steeper than the one which is parallel

anonymous · Answer

x-axis is not at all steeper ...do u agree with me ?........now as we reach y-axis, the steepness/slope increases. Slope is infinite for Y-axis...that u know already...

ghazi · Answer

that's why i said to compare the graph...it is obvious ....if steepness reduces to zero that means it is parallel to x axis

anonymous · Answer

but it is better to under stand the slope concept........

ghazi · Answer

slope is expressed differently in different context, though sharing the same meaning ..here in coordinate it is better to visualize things rather just  goin with calculations
