Question

Which equation below has a slope greater than the slope of the line shown above?

Answer 1

Answer:

B.y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points on the line

(0,1) and (2,5)

The slope using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 5-1)/(2-0)

  = 4/2

  = 2

We want a slope that is greater than 2

The slope intercept form of the equation is

y = mx+b where m is the slope

y = 3x - 1  has a slope of 3 which is greater than 2
