Know the Answer?

Jeremiah Gilbert · Answer 1

The linear equation y=3x tells you that it’s going more vertical

Carly Finley · Answer 2

More vertical.

y=x, where the slope is 1, is a line that forms a 45 degree angle with the positive part of the x axis. y=3x has a bigger slope, so it is going to rise 3 times faster than y=x so the line is more vertical

I hope that makes sense.
