SOLUTION: I have a question about a graph. If one line has a slope of -3 and another has a slope of 2. which line is steeper? and WHY? : One definition of slope rise over run, which mean

Question 592556: I have a question about a graph.
If one line has a slope of -3 and another has a slope of 2.
which line is steeper? and WHY?
:
One definition of slope rise over run, which means how far does is rise or fall vertically

One definition of slope is: "rise over run, which means how far does is rise or fall vertically, for a unit horizontally,
A slope of -3, it fell 3 units vertically for one unit horizontally
A slope of +2, it rose 2 units vertically for one unit horizontally
;
Obviously, -3 is steeper than +2
