Consider the linear function that is represented by the equation Y =-10x+6 and the linear function that is represented
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(a) The function that is represented by the equation y=-10x+6 has a steeper slope and a greater y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
If we take the "steepness" of the slope to be the absolute value of the slope, then the line y=-10x +6 has a slope with a steepness of 10.
The line y -36 - 8(x -4) has a slope with a steepness of 8, so the first line is steeper.
The line y=-10x+6 has a y-intercept of 6. The line y-36 =8(x -4) has a y-intercept of 4, so the first line has a higher y-intercept.
The appropriate description of the two lines is ...
