Question

Compare the table and equation. x y 1 3 2 6 3 9 Equation: y = 4x Which representation has the greatest slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The equation has the greatest slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table has the values as shown below;

x    y

1    3

2   6

3   9

The gradient of the line can be found as;

m=Δy/Δx

m= 9-3 /3-1

m= 6/2

m₁= 3

The equation of the other line is :   y=4x

The gradient is , m₂ = 4

The presentation with the greatest slope is the equation that has a slope of 4.
