Question

which function has the greatest rate of change? A. y = 7/6x + 2/3 B. y = 7/5x + 7/5 C. y = 6/5x + 11/5 D. y = 5/4x + 15/4

Answer 1

Explanation:

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position

y = 7/6x + 2/3......slope(m) = 7/6 or 1.167

y = 7/5x + 7/5....slope(m) = 7/5 or 1.4

y = 6/5x + 11/5...slope(m) = 6/5 or 1.2

y = 5/4x + 15/4.....slope(m) = 5/4 or 1.25

so the greatest rate of change would be B. y = 7/5x + 7/5 with a slope of 7/5
