On a coordinate plane, line A goes through points (negative 3, 0) and (0, 4), and line B goes through points (0, negative 4) and (2, 0).
Which line has the steeper slope?

Line
has a steeper slope.

Respuesta :

The true statement is that: the slope of line A is steeper than the slope of line B

What is slope?

The slope of a linear equation is the average rate of change of the linear equation.

The slope is calculated using:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

The slope of line A

On line A, we have the following coordinate points

(-3,0) and (0,4)

So, the slope is:

[tex]m_A = \frac{4 -0}{0 +3}[/tex]

[tex]m_A = \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

The slope of line B

On line B, we have the following coordinate points

(0,-4) and (2,0)

So, the slope is:

[tex]m_A = \frac{0 +4}{2 -0}[/tex]

[tex]m_B = 2 [/tex]

By comparison:

2 is greater than 4/3

Hence, line B has a steeper slope
