Question

Find the slope of each line of the graphs to the right. Which graph has the greater​ slope? Use pencil and paper. Explain how you know which graph has the greater slope without doing any calculations.

Answer 1

Answer:

Line 2/Depending on the steepness of the line and which way it faces, we can easily determine which line has a larger slope - Any line that goes left to right is negative, and the steeper a line is, the more the farther negative/positive slope it has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Depending on the steepness of the line and which way it faces, we can easily determine which line has a larger slope - Any line that goes left to right is negative, and the steeper a line is, the more the farther negative/positive slope it has. The slope of line one is determined from rise over run. When we take the 2 points marked, we can count rise (4) and run (4), so we have 4/4, which is one. For line 2, we can do the same and get 3. Therefore, Line 2 has a greater slope

Answer 2

Answer:

Line 2

Step-by-step explanation:

line one's slope is one and line 2 is 3
