Write an equation for a line that is even steeper than y =2x

Question

Steeper than y =2x

Answer 1

y=3x

The higher the number before x is, the steeper the line becomes.

Answer 2

The equation y = 2x is a specific instance of the more general slope-intercept equation of a line, which is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate where the line intersects with the y-axis).

In the case of y=2x, m (the slope) is 2 and b (the y-intercept) is 0.

The slope represents how steep the line is. The higher the slope, the more steep it is. So any equation where m is greater than 2 would represent a line that is steeper. Examples of this would be:

y = 4x

y = 3x + 4

y = 2.5x - 2
