Question

I need help with this! Quick ASAP?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) F

b) B, E, D

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The segment with the greatest gradient has the largest change in y-values per unit change in x-values

From the given option, the rate of change of the y to the x-values of B = the gradient = (4 units)/(2 units) = 2

The gradient of F = (-3units)/(1 unit) = -3

The gradient of A = 4/4 = 1

The gradient of C = -2/5

The gradient of D = 2/6 = 1/3

The gradient of E = 3/4

The segment with the greatest gradient is F

b) The steepest segment has the higher gradient

From their calculated we have;

The gradient of segment B = 2 therefore, B is steeper than E that has a gradient of 3/4, and E is steeper than D, as the gradient of D = 1/3

Therefore, we have;

B, E, D.
