Which of the following linear equations has the steepest slope?

A. Y = - 2x + 11

B. y=+x+4

C. y - x + 7

D. y - 7+2

A - - - unless d is supposed to be "y = - 7x + 2"

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is m in y=mx + b

So:

a. y = - 2x + 11 slope = - 2

b. y = x + 4 slope = 1

c. y = - x + 7 slope = - 1

d. y = - 7 + 2 (I don's see an x but if there were an x I assume that the slope would equal - 7)

The higher the m value, the steeper the slope because it is m/1

So, - 2/1 is steeper than 1/1 or - 1/1
