Question

Whose function has the larger slope?

Marty’s with a slope of 2/3
Ethan’s with a slope of 2/5
Marty’s with a slope of 1/3
Ethan’s with a slope of 1/5

Answer 1

C. Marty's with a slope of 1/3

Explanation:

Subtract the x numbers on Ethan's chart

4-2=2

2-0=2

0--2=2

As you can see the first number is 2. Now let's look at y.

10-9.6=0.4

9.6-9.4=0.4

9.4-9.2=0.4

The second number is 0.4. Now we are going to make it a fraction.

Y goes on top so it will look like this 0.4/2

Now we simpilfy it to 1/5

Marty's slope is 1/3. You can see it in the equation for the question.

1/5 is much less than 1/3 so Marty has the larger slope.

Answer 2

Don't listen to that guy, it is option C, (Mart's with a slope of 1/3)
