Answer 1

A, D start from lowest values
in fact D starts from very very low values and goes up
so you need to look at B and C

Answer 2

is B right? @xapproachesinfinity just making sure

Answer 3

here you need to do a little comparison btw the two lines
\[y=-7x-8\\ y=\frac{-1~~}{3}x-2\]
seems that -1/3 > -7
so c would be above b try graphing them

Answer 4

ohhh I see it now

Answer 5

oh you got the right answer!
b would be c not the other way around sorry
i meant to say it this way
