Question

Compare the data in the table and the equation. x y 4 12 5 15 6 18 Equation: y = 3x Which representation has the greatest slope? The equation has the greatest slope. The table has the greatest slope. The table and equation have the same slope. Their slopes cannot be determined.

Answer 1

They have the same slope

Answer 2

(4,12)(5,15)
slope = (15 - 12) / (5 - 4) = 3/1 = 3....so the slope is 3

y = 3x...slope here is 3 as well

they have the same slope
