OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, try to think. I cant give direct answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know how to do a slope!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And you're in 8th grade?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7th..btw..and i'm just learning about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, then that's alright. Ok so. Think of a coordinate plane. what would be steeper 3 or -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh also, I dont help liars! Bye :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what am i lying about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz help!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, both lines go in a diagonal direction, so the answer isn't C. Here's the graph for the positive 3 slope: |dw:1433442454774:dw| notice how the line rises Here's the graph for the -3 slope. |dw:1433442594708:dw| notice how it falls to the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Technically, both of the lines reach the same height on the graph, the only difference is, they go in opposite directions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so...the answer is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!
