Which of the following equations has the steepest slope? a. y=5x-6 b. y=1/2x+3 c. y=2 x+12 d. y=4x+9

You have four linear functions:
1. with  slope ;
2. with slope ;
3. with slope ;
4. with slope .
The steepest slope is that of the line that is closest to being vertical. This could be a line that has positive slope OR negative slope...the steepest one should be determined by examining the ABSOLUTE VALUES of these four slopes.
Since
the steepest slope has first function.
