Help me please. Which of the following could be the slope of a line that passes through the point (-2, -3) and crosses the y-axis above the origin? a. -2/3 b. 3/7 c. 3/2 d. 5/3 e. 9/4 f. 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does "the y-axis above the origin" mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1439384061727:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The origin is quadrant 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

origin is (0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doenst matter actually since they are actually testing you on gradient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats a gradient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the slope of that 2 point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then compare with your choice see which one is steeper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's D, E, F, obviously because the numerator is greater than the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres only 1 answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm no 2 actually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no theres 3 i checked the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea the gradient is 3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so anything bigger than that is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok gotcha thanks a bunch!
