Question

a linear function goes through the points (-4,2) and (4,-4) . a second linear function is shown on the graph belowa.-2/5b.-4/3c.-5/2d.-3/4

Answer 1

Let:

`m1=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-4-2)/(4-(-4))=-(6)/(8)=-(3)/(4)`
`m2=(-1-1)/(5-0)=-(2)/(5)`

the linear function goes through the points (-4,2) and (4,-4) has a slope of -3/4

and the linear function shown on the graph has a slope of -2/5

the linear function that goes through the points (-4,2) and (4,-4) has the larger slope
