Question

Which one is the steepest A. 1/2 B. 0 C. 3/4 D. 5

Answer 1

Answer:  D) 5

Explanation:

Assuming those given answer choices represent slope values, the steepest slope is the number furthest from 0 on the number line. In other words, it will have the largest absolute value.

In this case, the steepest slope is 5 since this value is furthest from 0 of the other answer choices.

Answer 2

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: rise/run, where rise is the vertical line and run is the horizontal. To calculate for 5, the rise must be 5x the run (e.g. 25/5). 0 is a horizontal line, since it has no y-axis. Then draw all your lines on a graph. The steepest slope will be 3/4.
