Answer:

No a greater slope is not always steeper

Explanation:

If line A has a slope of 10 and line B has a slope of 6. The slope of line A will definetely be steeper than line B. In a negative slope, if line A's slope is -20 and line b's slope is 5 the line A will be steeper even though it is actually less than 5.
