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.

The graph of F(x) can be flipped over a certain line to produce the graph of its inverse. What is the equation of that line?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span><u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>
y=x.

<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>
<span>In order to find the inverse of a function, we first <u>switch x and y</u>; then we isolate y. When we do this, we are saying that x and y equal the same thing, or y=x.  </span></span>

Both cyclist are moving apart at a speed of 9.434 mi/hr.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity is the direction at which an item is moving and serves as a measure of the rate at which its location is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time (for example, 60 km/h northbound). In kinematics, the area of classical mechanics that deals with the motion of bodies, velocity is a basic idea. A physical vector quantity called velocity must have both a magnitude and a direction in order to be defined. Speed is the scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity; it is a coherent derived unit whose quantity is measured in metres per second (m/s or m/s1) in the SI (metric system).
