Are negative slopes steeper than positive slopes

Mathematics

Answer:

No, they are not necessarily steeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steepness is the <em>absolute value</em> of a slope. (The sign of a slope determines the direction of the incline: negative slope corresponds to pointing up to the left, positive slope points up to the right.)

So it is only the absolute value of a slope that should be used in any comparison. Because of that, one cannot, in general, say that negative slopes are steeper than positive slopes.

A higher positive slope means a steeper upward tilt to the curve, which you can see at higher output levels. A negative slope that is larger in absolute value (that is, more negative) means a steeper downward tilt to the line.

What is the answer too n+ 2 = -14-n ?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

n = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

n + 2 = -14 - n

+n              + n                Add n to both sides

2n + 2 = -14

     - 2     - 2                   Subtract 2 from both sides

2n = -16                          Divide both sides by 2

n = -8

Which of the following equations are equivalent to -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m?
aleksandrvk [35]
To solve this problem, we must simplify the the equation:
<span>Here is the base equation -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m (Add all like terms):

</span>#1 -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m (Property of Addition)<span>
#2 -7m - 8 = -4 + m (Most Simplified Equation)

The answer your would be the 2nd one. </span>-7m - 8 = m - 4
<span>
If I helped you out, please give me a gold crown. :)
