B) The slope -3/4 is greater than the slope -7/4 (of the table)

1) Let's pick point ( -4,4) and (0,-3) and find the slope:

2) Now let's compare to those other slopes:

And, finally, the slopes of b) m= -3/4 and the slope of d) m=-5/2

(the slope is the coefficient of x)

3) Considering the number line:

So the slope -3/4 is greater than the slope -7/4
