Question

Select the line with a slope that is greater than 1

A
B
C
D

Answer 1

Line A

Explanation:

The slope is the rise over run of the line, or in other words, the number of units the line travels up over the number of units the line travels to the right. For a line to have a slope of 1, this ratio would have to be 1:1, or 1/1. We can see on the graph that this description fits line B.

Line B ⇒ Has a slope of 1

For a line to have a slope that is greater than one, it has to 1) travel upwards and 2) be steeper than line B. Lines C and D are both less steep than Line B, and Line A is the only line steeper than Line B, so therefore, the line with a slope that is greater than 1 is Line A.

I hope this helps!
