For both functions, we can use the rise over run formula to find the slope. Rise over run uses the following formula:
Function 1 has the points (0,4) and (3,0). Plug the x and y values into the formula:
Function 1 has a slope of -4/3.
We can take any two points from Function 2. We'll use (0,5) and (4,8). Plug the values into the formula:
Function 2 has a slope of 3/4.
Because the question asks for the steeper slope, we'll convert the slope of Function 1 into a positive number. The slope will now be 4/3.
Compare the slopes of both functions:
Function 1 has the steeper slope, -4/3.
