Answer: Option (C) Marty's with a slope of 1/3

Explanation:

Slope of any line is the angle by which any line is inclined to the x axis. Slope is the ratio of rise and run.

Slope =
rise/run.The vertical change between two points is called the rise, and the horizontal change is called the run.

In the given question Marty's has a slope
(2)/(3) and Ethan has a slope
(2)/(5) .

As the slope is positive the line will move up then right.

Line with slope. Marty is haveing a greater slope than Ethan.

In second case Marty's slope is
(1)/(3) and Ethan's slope is
(1)/(5)

Marty will have a greater slope.
