The equation of Line 1: 4x - 2y = 16
The equation of Line 2: y = -4/5x + 2
The equation of Line 3: y - 4 = 3 (x + 5)
is the statement true or false?
Line 1 has the greatest slope.
Line 2 has an increasing graph
Line 2 has the biggest y-intercept
Line 3 has a decreasing graph
Line 3 has the greatest slope
Line 1 has the biggest y-intercept
The statement is false.
Line 1 has a slope of 4/2 = 2.
Line 2 has a slope of -4/5, which is smaller than the slope of Line 1.
Line 2 has an increasing graph because as x increases, y decreases.
Line 2 has a y-intercept of 2, which is smaller than that of Line 1.
Line 3 has a slope of 3, which is greater than the slope of Line 2 and Line 1.
Line 3 has a constant value added to the y-coordinate, so its graph is constant, not decreasing.
Line 1 has a y-intercept of 16, which is larger than that of Line 2.
