equation 1: 4x-2y=16
equation 2: y=-4/5x+2
equation 3: y-4=3(x+5)
which statement is true?
(1 point)
A. line 1 has the greatest slope
B. line 2 has the biggest y intercept
C. line 2 has an increasing graph
D. line 1 has the biggest y intercept
E. line 3 has a decreasing graph
F. line 3 has the greatest slope
The correct answer is F. Line 3 has the greatest slope.
In equation 1, the coefficient of x is 4, which means the slope of the line represented by equation 1 is 4/1=4.
In equation 2, the coefficient of x is -4/5, which means the slope of the line represented by equation 2 is -4/5.
In equation 3, the coefficient of x is 3, which means the slope of the line represented by equation 3 is 3.
Since the slope of line 3 is greater than the slopes of lines 1 and 2, line 3 has the greatest slope.
