OpenStudy (britnee_paige99):

Which line is steeper, a line with a slope of (6/4) or a line with a slope of (-3/2)? Please explain

OpenStudy (freckles):

well which one has the greater absolute value?

OpenStudy (freckles):

(if either does)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Slope is rise over run, so why don't you plot a line and see which one it steeper that way.

OpenStudy (freckles):

so you can't tell me which is bigger (if any is bigger) 6/4 or 3/2? you know you can reduce 6/4 right?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Well, one is -, the other is +.

OpenStudy (freckles):

Yes @abbot you are right... But I asked her to consider the absolute value of the numbers.

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

Shouldn't you simplify 6/4?
