Question

Which linear function has the steepest slope? A) y = negative 8 x + 5 B) y minus 9 = negative 2 (x + 1) C) y = 7 x minus 3 D) y + 2 = 6 (x + 10)

Answer 1

Answer:

C) y = 7 x minus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Function A has a slope of -8

Function B has a slope of -2

Function C has a slope of 7

Function D has a slope of 6

The function with the steepest slope is function C.

Answer 2

y = -8x + 5

y - 9 = -2(x+1)

y - 9 = -2x - 2

y = -2x +7

y + 2 = 6(x+10)

y + 2 = 6x + 60

y = 6x + 58
