Question

Which slope is shallower a slope of -9 or a slope of -3.

Answer 1

Shallower ---> deeper slope

Hence a steeper slope is -9

Answer 2

-3 has a shallower slope

Explanation:

the higher the absolute value of the slope is, the steeper the line

for example, if the slope of a line is -100 and the slope of another line is 2, the slope of -100 is steeper because it's absolute value is 100 which is larger than 2
