x y
5 20
7 28
9 36

Which linear equation has the greater slope? Why?

Select the option that correctly answers both questions.


Equation A has the greater slope. It has a slope of 4, and equation B has a slope of 3, which is smaller.

Answer 1

1: Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. We can use this form of a linear equation to draw the graph of that equation on the x-y coordinate plane.

2: We have 4 ways of solving one-step equations: Adding, Substracting, multiplication and division. If we add the same number to both sides of an equation, both sides will remain equal. If we subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, both sides will remain equal.

A: For example: If you pay 30 dollars a month for your cell phone and 10 cents per minute of usage the monthly cost of using your cell phone would be a linear equation of a function, C, the monthly cost based on the number of minutes you use monthly.
