Answer:
0 => -⅘ => 1.5 => 3 => -4 =>
Step-by-step explanation:
The greater the absolute value of a slope, the steeper the slope. By absolute value, we mean the non-negative value of tthe .
To arrange the slope values, from the least steep to the steepest, ignore the negative sign in any of the slope values.
Thus, in the order from the least steep to the steepest, we have:
0 => -⅘ => 1.5 => 3 => -4 =>
The greater the absolute value of the slope, the greater the vertical movement. The greater the vertical movement, the steeper the slope.
A slope value of 0 connotes a horizontal line.
In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below
