The point on the line with the greatest slope is (2, 6)

Which of the points is on the line with the greatest slope?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The lines where they all pass through the origin

This means that the slopes of the lines is

Slope = y/x

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

Slope (1, 0) = 0/1 = 0

Slope (8,4) = 4/8 = 0.5

Slope (2, 6) = 6/2 = 3

Slope (4, 4) = 4/4 = 1

Hence, the point on the line with the greatest slope is (2, 6)

Question

Four different lines are drawn on a coordinate plane. The lines all pass through the origin, and each line passes through one of the points listed below. (1.0) (8,4) (2.6) (4.4) Which of the points is on the line with the GREATEST slope? A. (1,0) B. (8,4) C. (2,6) D. (4,4)
