WHich of the following has the steepest slope?
a. y = -4x + 1
b. y = 2x + 3
c. y = x+6
d. y = -3x - 4

Sagot :

Answer: Choice A)  

y = -4x+1

=======================================

Explanation:

The general format of a linear equation can be written as y = mx+b

m = slope

b = y intercept

The steepest slope is the value of m that is furthest away from zero. If m > 0, then we're looking for the largest value of m or value to the right of 0. If m < 0, then we're trying to get as left as possible.

Of the choices we have, choice A has the m value furthest from 0. If you want, you can make each slope positive and then compare to see which slope is largest.
