Question

Reorder the following equations in descending order of steepness.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 15\cdot x + 5$

$y = x$

$y = 0.15\cdot x + 3$

$y = -2\cdot x + 100$

Step-by-step explanation:

The steepness of linear functions is represented by slope. A linear function is a first-order polynomial whose form is:

$y = m\cdot x + b$

Where:

$x$, $y$ - Independent and dependent variables, dimensionless.

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$b$ - x-Intercept, dimensionless.

After analysing each expressio, the equations are reordered in descending order of steepness:

$y = 15\cdot x + 5$

$y = x$

$y = 0.15\cdot x + 3$

$y = -2\cdot x + 100$
