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

B

Explanation:

The higher the number, the steeper the slope.

Answer 2

B.
`y=5x-2`

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.
