Answer:

B. 15, 20, ...

Explanation:

You want to know which sequence of numbers has the steepest graph.

Slope

The slope (steepness) of the graph is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x. Here, we presume the x-values for each of these sets of points are 1, 2, 3, 4, ....

That means the slope will be the difference of adjacent y-values. Subtracting the first from the second, we get ...

8 -4 = 4

20 -15 = 5

52 -50 = 2

7 -4 = 3

The sequence in which the values differ by 5 has the largest difference, so will have the steepest graph:

15, 20, 25, 30, ...
