Question

Function Cy=3/2x -5Function DX and Y-3 -50 -13 36 7which function has the steeper slope? A. Function C slope of, 3/2, has a steeper slope than Function D, 3/4B. Function D has a steeper slope,3/2, thank Function C slope of -1 C. Function D slope of, 3/2, has a steeper slope than Function C, 3/4D. Function C has a steeper slope,3/2, than Function D slope of -1

Answer 1

Step 01:

Data

function C = 3/2 x - 5

m = 3/2 = 1.5

function D = ?

(-3 , -5) x1 = -3 y1 = -5

(0 , -1) x2 = 0 y2 = -1

m =?

Step 02

function D

slope formula

`m\text{ = }(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`
`m\text{ = }\frac{-1-(-5)_{}}{0-(-3)}=(-1+5)/(0+3)=(4)/(3)`

m = 4 / 3 = 1.33

m C > m D

3/2 > 4/3

The solution is:

The function C has the steeper slope.

A. Function C slope of, 3/2, has a steeper slope than Function D, 4/3
