question 9 of 10
as a line becomes ____, the value of its slope gets bigger.
a. less steep
b. longer
c. shorter
d. steeper

Explanation:

The slope of a line measures its steepness. A steeper line has a larger absolute - value of slope. For example, a line with slope 3 is steeper than a line with slope 1. As a line becomes steeper, the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change (which is the slope) increases.

Answer:

D. steeper
