The ratio will tell you. E. G.

a slope of 3/2

is greater than 1, but

1/5 is not

Harrell · Answer 2

From the equation of the line:-

Convert the line to the slope/intercept form

y = mx + b

m = slope so this value will tell you what you want to know.

For example y = x - 3 has a slope of 1

and y = 0.5x + 2 has a slope of less than 1.
