Question

Which of the following linear equations when graphed on a

coordinate grid has the steepest slope?
Y=5/2x-1
Y=3x+1/4
Y=4x+3/5
Y=1/3x-2

Answer 1

y = 4x + 3/5

Explanation:

The slopes are 5/2, 3, 4, 1/3.

The larger the absolute value of the slope is, the steeper the graph is.

The largest slope is 4, so that equation has the graph with the steepest slope.

Answer: y = 4x + 3/5
