please help will give medal Compare the table and equation. x y 4 12 5 15 6 18 Equation: y = 3x Which representation has the greatest slope? The equation has the greatest slope. The table has the greatest slope. The table and equation have the same slope. Their slopes cannot be determined.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We know that the equation is 3 for the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont really get it can you explain it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what the equation is for slope intercept form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m is the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so m is 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the slope for the table?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to find a slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so the slope is 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the equation, the slope is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would is be c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for both table and equation, the slopes are the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I think it would be c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thank you sorry im really bad at math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

example: the table would have a slope of 3 according to the the equation mx+b=y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=0, so no b in this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 4*3=12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is correct
