Which value for slope represents the steepest line? Explain. Negative four-fifths or negative two or negative thirteen-thirds or negative four

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

OpenStudy (loganator):

Hopefully I can get an answer without writing it all on grid paper

4/3, 2, 13/3, 4 which is the largest?

OpenStudy (loganator):

So Your saying that the greater the rise the deeper? and the greater the run the longer?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

the greater the rise the steeper

OpenStudy (loganator):

haha, I meant steeper

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

we set the run to equal 1 for comparison purposes here

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct, but keep in mind that a slope can also be negative, so in your description, you must include the absolute value of the slope.

Yes, I know that, most of everything I have is negative. So, -4/5 would be down 4 and right 5 correct?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Don't write out the numbers as English words

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Negative four-fifths or negative two or negative thirteen-thirds or negative four

OpenStudy (loganator):

What are you talking about?

OpenStudy (loganator):

Ok what is your point???? this isn't solving anything. I asked if you have an equation of negative 4 over 5 if you go down for and 5 to the right

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

4/5, 2, 13/3, 4 which is the largest?

OpenStudy (loganator):
