Question

w1The equation of this line isy = 2x + 3. Which of thefollowing shows a way thatwe could change theequation to make the linesteeper?1 2 31-3 -2 -1-1-21NHA. y = 2x + 5B. y=-2x + 3C. y= 4x + 3

Answer 1

Solution

Draw a steeper graph for the equaton below:

$y=2x+3$

A higher positive slope means a steeper upward tilt to the curve, which you can see at higher output levels. A negative slope that is larger in absolute value (that is, more negative) means a steeper downward tilt to the line. A slope of zero is a horizontal line. A vertical line with an infinite slope

y = 4x + 3

Therefore the correct answer is

$y=4x+3$
