Question

If a graph of y = -6x + 5 were changed to a graph of y = -4x + 5, how would the

slope change?

A. The slope of the new graph would become steeper.

B. More information is needed to determine the change.
C. The slope would remain the same
D. The slope of the new graph would become less steep.

Answer 1

Answer: The slope of the new graph would become less

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

in y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position

y = -6x + 5......slope here is -6

y = -4x + 5....slope here is -4

so the slope changed from -6 to -4

** the slope with the highest absolute value is steepest.....lol...is steepest even a word

so the slope of the new graph would become less steep <==
