Question

Given two lines, one with a slope of -1/4 and another with a slope of -2, which line is steeper and why?

Accepted Answer

The line with a slope of -2 is steeper because a larger absolute value of slope indicates a steeper line.

Answer

Both lines are equally steep because they have negative slopes.

Answer

The line with a slope of -1/4 is steeper because smaller slopes indicate steeper lines.

Answer

Neither line is steep because they are both less than 0.
