Which linear function has the steepest slope?
2 answers:
Answer: The correct option is A.
Explanation:
The slope intercept form is,
Where m is slope.
The point slope form is,
Where m is slope.
On Comparing the first equation with slope intercept form, we get m = -8.
On Comparing the second equation with point slope form, we get m = -2.
On Comparing the third equation with slope intercept form, we get m = 7.
On Comparing the Fourth equation with point slope form, we get m = 6.
The steepest line have greatest absolute slope value.
Since the equation 1 has greatest absolute slope value,i.e., 8 therefore option A is correct.
