Algebra.Com's Answer #376106 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One definition of slope is: \"rise over run, which means how far does is rise or fall vertically, for a unit horizontally, \n" ); document.write( "A slope of -3, it fell 3 units vertically for one unit horizontally \n" ); document.write( "A slope of +2, it rose 2 units vertically for one unit horizontally \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( "Obviously, -3 is steeper than +2 \n" ); document.write( " |
