Question

which of the following linear equations has the steepest slope A). y=2/3x+10 B). y=8x+1 C). y=1/7x-5 D). y=-4x+6

Answer 1

Since all the equations are in slope intercept form y=mx + b, the steepest slope would be the greatest number m (doesn't matter whether it is positive or negative.

8 is the greatest number, so it will have the steepest slope.

Choice B
