Question

Which of the following has the least steep graph?
A. y = 3x - 16
B. y = 2x + 7/15 (7/15 fraction)
C. y = 1/2x + 3 (1/2x fraction)
D. y = x + 24

Answer 1

Y=MX + B
m is your slope or rise over run

you only go up 1/2 to ever 1 space you move to the right for 1/2x

The answer would be C

Answer 2

least steep graph would be the one that is closest to zero
slope=rise/run, theh smaller the slope, the smaller the rise/run


y=mx+b
m=slope

A. y=3x-16, slope is 3
B. y=2x+7/15, slope is 2
C. y=1/2x+3, slope is 1/2
D. y=1x+24, sloe is 1


1/2 is closest to zero

C is least steep slope
