Question

Which of the following has the steepest graph:

A. y= 1/2x + 3
B. y= 3x + 144
C. y= 7x + 16
D. y= 11x - 144

Answer 1

D. y = 11x - 114

The slope is the steepest.

Answer 2

Option D. is the correct option.

Explanation:

Since all the given graphs are of a straight line therefore the graph which will have the maximum slope will be the steepest.

Standard equation of a line is y = mx + c

here m is the slope.

A. y = 1/2x +3

m = 1/2

B. y = 3x +144

m = 3

C. y = 7x + 16

m = 7

D. y = 11x - 144

m = 11

therefore Option D. has the maximum slope.
