Question

100 POINTS!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION!

Consider the linear functions below.

Find the slope of each function and determine which has the steeper slope.

Function 2 has a steeper slope of -\frac{3}{4} .
Function 2 has a steeper slope of \frac{3}{4} .
Function 1 has a steeper slope of \frac{4}{3} .
Function 1 has a steeper slope of -\frac{4}{3} .

Answer 1

For both functions, we can use the rise over run formula to find the slope. Rise over run uses the following formula:

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

Function 1 has the points (0,4) and (3,0). Plug the x and y values into the formula:

$\frac{0-4}{3-0} = \frac{-4}{3}$

Function 1 has a slope of -4/3.

We can take any two points from Function 2. We'll use (0,5) and (4,8). Plug the values into the formula:

$\frac{8 - 5}{4 - 0} = \frac{3}{4}$

Function 2 has a slope of 3/4.

Because the question asks for the steeper slope, we'll convert the slope of Function 1 into a positive number. The slope will now be 4/3. 

Compare the slopes of both functions:

$\frac{4}{3} \ \textgreater \ \frac{3}{4}$

Function 1 has the steeper slope, -4/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

Function 2          B

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this might be late, but the answer is C, because Function 1, has a slope of -4/3, while function 2 has a slope of 3/4.

You can find the slope of function 1, by doing the slope formula and plugging values in.

y2-y1   /   x2-x1

4-0    /   0-3

4/-3

-4/3

Function 2 can be solved by

8-5 over (/) 4-0

3/4

It takes every single brain cell to figure out if negative numbers are smaller than positive numbers, and after 5 hours of scratching my head, I figured out that the answer is that Function 2 is larger. Then you can find the answer by going through the answer choices and finding that B is correct, because A, C, and D are all wrong as C and D say that Function has a steeper slope which is wrong, and A is wrong because it says that Function 2 is steeper because it has a negative slope. I think anyone who reads this will be like: -_-     -___- so....

What kind of sadist would think of creating ALGEBRA?

Edit: hahaha! im so rich in points now >:)

I CAN BUY THE WORLD NOW!!
