What compares the steep of linear functions
Literally, steepness means slope.
So, when the slope of the two linear functions are calculated, we can make comparison between the calculated slopes to determine which of the functions is steeper or less steep.
Also:
Higher slope means steeper line
e.g.
4 is steeper than 1

If the proportion of iris to roses in Nikki's garden is 2: 5, it means that for 25 roses: (2/5) = (10/25). Therefore to maintain the proportion by adding 20 roses: (2/5) = (18/45). The number of irises after the addition of roses will be 10 + 18 = 28 irises.
I would think that all but one point would be on the line. One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation. Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses: (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is m = ---------------- = 2/0.25 = 8
2.50-2.25
What is the eqn of the line: y = mx + b becomes
14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:
14-20 = b = -6. Then, y = 8x - 6.
Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.
Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6? Is 1.25 = 90? No. So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).
Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?
