Question

Which of the following has the least steep graph

1. Y=x+24
2. Y=2x+7/15
3.Y=1/2x+3
4. Y=3x-16

Answer 1

When a slope is the steepest, the x value would be very small (in terms of fractions and decimals mostly). As the value of x is increased, the further away it starts moving from the y-axis. Therefore, the correct solution would be y=3x-16. Another way to confirm this is by graphing all the equations and comparing.

Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

That answer is wrong.

For Apex the answer is y=1/2x=3
