Question

Please help me on this

Answer 1

we have a formula for finding slopes:

`\frac{y - {y}^( prime) }{x - {x}^(prime) }`
x and y being the coordinates of one point and y and x prime being the coordinates of another point.
let's find the slopes of our two functions
first function:

`(0 - 4)/(3 - 0) = ( - 4)/(3)`
second function:

`( - 4 - ( - 1))/( - 12 - ( - 8)) = (3)/(4)`
the bigger the number the bigger the slope negativity or positivity doesn't matter. therefore the correct answer is:
function 1 has a steeper slope of -4/3

Answer 2

1) slope = (4-0)/(0-3)=-4/3
2)(5-2)/(0+4)=3/4
function1 has a steeper slope of -4/3
