Question

Which equation has the least steep graph?

O A. y= -1/4x+6
O B. y =-3/4x-9
O C. y = 2x + 1
O D. y=-7x-2

Answer 1

y=

`- (1)/(4) x + 6`

Explanation:

Standard form of equation of line: y=mx+c

where m = slope

c = y-intercept

Since we know that slope for all equations , we can find the one with the least steep graph.

To find which one is the least steep graph, we find the lowest value in the slope, m. (Ignoring the +/- sign)

In this case, y=

`- (1)/(4) x + 6`

will give the least steep graph as it has the lowest slope value.
