The slope of a line is defined as rise by run i.e. how much y value changes with respect to the change in × value. So the slope gives the steepness of the line. Slope O indicates there is no change in y when the x value is changed and so the line with slope 0 is a horizontal line. A line with slope 1 shows with 1 unit change in ×, y changes by 1 unit. Likewise slope equal 2 indicates with 1 unit change in ×, y changes by 2 units. We can see as the absolute value of slope is increasing, the change in y with respect to x is increasing i.e. the line is becoming more tilted or steep. Hence, we can conclude that: The graph of a line gets Steeper as the absolute value of the slope gets bigger. C is the correct answer.
