Which linear function has the steepest slope?
y = negative 8 x + 5
y minus 9 = negative 2 (x + 1)
y = 7 x minus 3
y + 2 = 6 (x + 10)

Answer 1

The answer is y = -8x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 9 = -2(x+1)

y - 9 = -2x - 2

y = -2x +7

y + 2 = 6(x+10)

y + 2 = 6x + 60

y = 6x + 58

y = -8x + 5

Steepest slope is determine by the greatest value of gradient(m).

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The linear function that has the steepest slope is,

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: The general formula is, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Option A:

According to slope intercept form:

Slope is -8

Similarly, for

Option B :

Slope is -2

Option C:

Slope is 7

Option D :

Slope is 6

Steepest slope defined as that is closest to being vertical.

This could be a line that is positive or negative slope respectively.

Therefore, the linear function that has the steepest slope is,
