Question

Which equation has the steepest graph?
A. Y=-2x+6
B. y =8x-1
C. Y=-10x-4
D. Y=7x+3

Answer 1

Ignoring the negative signs, look at the number infront of the x in each equation, which one is the largest?

Answer 2

This is because the number infront of x in this form is the slope, which will be the same steepness whether it's negative or not.

Answer 3

Draw it out so, which looks the steepest, its not the best drawing i apologize

Answer 4

Like @Venny said, look for the biggest number in front of the x because that determines how much your going up or down based on the negative sign which will increase steepness.
