Victor Reeves · Answer 1

C) y = 7 x minus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Function A has a slope of - 8

Function B has a slope of - 2

Function C has a slope of 7

Function D has a slope of 6

The function with the steepest slope is function C.

Annabella · Answer 2

y = - 8x + 5

y - 9 = - 2 (x+1)

y - 9 = - 2x - 2

y = - 2x + 7

y + 2 = 6 (x+10)

y + 2 = 6x + 60

y = 6x + 58
