Question

Determine which slope is the steepest. Explain why it is the steepest.

A) Slope=2
B) Slope= 1/2
C)Slope=-4

Answer 1

Answer choice C

Step-by-step ex. 4 is the greatest number out of explanation:

The greater the absolute value is, the steeper it is. In this case, the absolute value of -4 is positive 4 since the absolute value shows how far a number is a ways from zero and is always positive. 4 is the largest number out of all of these choices which means it is the steepest slope.
