Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the rate of change of a line

The steepness of a slope means how close it is to being vertical

The greater value of slope means, more steepness. The value of slope can wither b positive or negative

We have to compare the slopes of all given options to find the steepest slope

As the options are in slope-intercept form, the coefficients of x will be the slope

So,

a. Slope = -4

b. Slope = 8

c. Slope = 2/3 = 0.66

d . Slope = 1/7 = 0.14

We can see that the largest value of slope in negative and positive is 8

So,

Option B: 8x+1 has the steepest slope

4 martians, 3 plutonians and 5 jupiterians are to be seated in a row at an interplanetary conference. How many seating arrangeme

Rudik [331]

we are given

martians =4

plutonians =3

jupiterians=5

so, total number of seats =4+3+5=12

number of seating arrangement for martians is 4!

number of seating arrangement for plutonians is 3!

number of seating arrangement for jupiterians is 5!

total number of seating arrangement is 12!

so, we get

possible seating arrangements are

$=\frac{12!}{4!3!5!}$

$=27720$ .............Answer
