Question

which of the following linear equations has the steepest slope?
A. y= -3x+1
B. y= 5x-2
C.y= 1/2 x-3
D. y= 8/9x+6

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher the number, the steeper the slope.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. $y=5x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given 4 equations. We are asked to choose the correct equation that has the steepest slope.

Upon looking at our given equations, we can see that equation represented by option B has the greatest slope, so the line will be steepest.

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
