The order of steepest to not as steep

Question

put these equation in order

y=1/2x+8

y=3x+3

y=-x+8

y=8

Answer 1

"steep" presumably refers to slope--which is the ratio of y change to x change (using the standard x-y cartesian system.

Your equations are in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. (in the last equation, m = 0)

So---the steepest slope is the one with the largest value of m
