which has a steeper slope y=-2x or y=-3x

Sagot :

Answer:

y=-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

3>2. It doesn't matter if some or all of the numbers are negative.

Answer:  y = -3x has the steeper slope

==========================================

Explanation:

Any linear equation is of the form y = mx+b, where m is the slope.

For y = -2x, the slope is -2. For y = -3x, the slope is -3.

We just look at the number to the left of x to find the slope.

To figure out which slope is steeper, we simply look to see which slope value is furthest from 0 on the number line. A slope of 0 itself is completely horizontal and flat. As the slope value moves away from zero, in either positive or negative direction, then the slope gets steeper and steeper.

In short, a slope of -3 is more steep compared to a slope of -2. Therefore, y = -3x is the answer.

The graph below helps visually confirm that y = -3x is indeed steeper. We drop one extra unit down each time we move to the right one space.
