Question

Mr. Witherspoon runs a publishing house that publishing house that publishes a financial magazine. The graph depicts the number of copies sold last year. Arrange the sections of the graphed function in order of their steepness, starting with the section that increases the slowest and ending with the section that increases the quickest.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mr. Witherspoon runs a publishing house that publishing house that publishes a financial magazine.

The graph depicts the number of copies sold last year.

We find that the graph is a straight line for each year

Highest slope denotes vertical and least slope denotes horizontal.

From the graph we can make out the slope if arranged in ascending order would be

E first as it is more horizontal followed by B, C, A and D

D has the highest slope as this shows a steep increase.

Answer 2

For this case, the first thing we must do is observe that the graph is composed of the following functions:
 Function A
 Function B
 Function C
 Function D
 Function E
 From here, we must observe the function that has the least slope until the function that has the highest slope.
 Since the functions are linear, then we must observe the inclination of the functions:
 Function E
 Function B
 Function C
 Function A
 Function D
 Answer:
 E, B, C, A, D
