Which linear function has the steepest slope?
On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, 1) and (1, negative 2).
A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 3, 6, 9, 12. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 10, 13, 16, 19.

Answers
Given : different linear functions points on a coordinate plane
To find : Which linear function has the steepest slope?
Solution:
a line goes through points (0, 1) and (1, -2)
Slope = (-2 - 1)/(1 - 0) = -3/1 = - 3
x y
3 10
6 13
9 16
12 19
Slope = ( 13 - 10)/(6 - 3) = 3/3 = 1
or ( 16 - 10)/(9-3) = 6/6 = 1
( 19 - 10)/(12 - 3) = 9/9 = 1
Hence slope of table is 1
a line goes through points (0, - 2) and (1, 0).
Slope = (0 -(-2))/(1 - 0) = 2/1 = 1
x y
2 -4
4 -12
6 -20
8 -28
Slope = ( -12 - (-4))/(4 - 2) = -8/2 = -4
linear function with maximum magnitude of slope is steepest function
Slope of table 2 is steepest
