Question

Which function has the steepest slope?
A.y=5x+3
B.y=2x+8
C.y=4x+5
D.y=3x+12

Answer 1

y=5x+3

Explanation:

The function with the steepest slope will be the one with the greatest coefficient of x, as this represents the gradient, and the higher the coefficient, the steeper the gradient.

Therefore, the first equation has the steepest slope.
