Answer:

1. T, W, E, G

2. C, B, D, A

Explanation:

For question 1:

G passes through (2, 3) and (0, -1). So, the slope is
(-1-3)/(0-2) = 2.

T passes through (0, 3) and (4, 4) so the slope is (4-3)/(4-0) =
(1)/(4).

E has a slope of
(5)/(3) because the equation is y = mx+b where m is the slope.

W has a slope of
(1)/(3) since slope is increase in y divided by increase in x.

The order of these from least to greatest is
(1)/(4),
(1)/(3),
(5)/(3), and 2.

Therefore, the answer is T, W, E, G.

For question 2:

A passes through (0, -1) and (2, 2), so the slope is (2- -1)/(2-0) =
(3)/(2).

B passes through (2, 0) and (4, 1), so the slope is (1-0)/(4-2) =
(1)/(2).

C has a slope of
(1)/(4) since the equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope.

D has a slope of
(3)/(4) since the slope is increase in y divided by increase in x.

The order of these from least to greatest is
(1)/(4),
(1)/(2),
(3)/(4), and
(3)/(2).

Therefore, the answer is C, B, D, A.

I hope this helps! :)

Didn't understand something? Some important formulas/things to remember that I used:

The equation of a linear function can be written as y=mx+b. m represents the slope.

The slope is the change/increase (decrease, in some cases), in y, divided by the change/increase in x.

The formula for the slope is
(Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1), where Y2 is the y coordinate of the second point, Y1 is the y coordinate of the first point, X2 is the x coordinate of the second point, and X1 is the x coordinate of the first point.
