Answer 2

Look at this graph.

Answer 3

A slope of 1 gives you a line that is 45 degrees up to the right.

Answer 4

Now let's look at increased slopes.

Answer 5

okay. I'm kind of confused on where your going with this but yeah I'll catch on...

Answer 6

A higher slope gives you a steeper line. As the slope increases, the line still goes up to the right but at a greater angle.

Answer 7

An even higher slope, 3 instead of 2, makes the line even steeper.

Answer 8

Okay, I'm following you on this...

Answer 9

Now let's look at one more slope. Then we'll look at your problem.
So far we saw slope 1 and higher, 2 and 3.
What if we look at a lower number, such as 1/2.

Answer 10

With a slope less than one, in this case, the slope is 1/2, the line still goes up to the right, but it is less steep that the line of slope 1.
