Answer:

the graph has the largest slope. the slope is 5/2

Explanation:

the slope of y=2x+4 is 2.

to get the slope of the table, see how much x increases and how much y increases. in this case, as x increases by 1, y also increases by 1, so the slope is 1.

to get the slope of the graph, find two or three points with whole numbers as both the x and y values. we can use (0, 2) and (2, 7). we can either make another table to see how the x and y values increase or look at the line and see how the line rises and runs. in this case, as x increases by 2, y increases by 5. the y value shows rise and the x value shows run, so we can write the slope as 5/2. we can see how the line rises by 5 and goes 2 units to the right. this gets the same slope as before.

1<2<5/2, so the graph has the largest slope.
