alleryStart learning →A line with a steeper tilt than another has a greater:
AA new origin
BA quadrant
CA greater slope
DAn intercept
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A greater slope
1. Steepness and slope are the same idea.
2. Lines can rise gently or sharply.
3. In mathematics, the tilt of a line is called the slope of the line.
4. A steeper tilt therefore means a larger slope.
5. Intercepts describe where the line crosses, not how steep it is.
