Compare Slope from Two Functions

Identify the line less steep than:

y = 3x + 8

• y = 5x + 8

• y = 3x + 5

• y = -3x + 6

• y = 2x + 7

Choose ALL the equations that have the

same steepness as y = 3/4x + 9

• y = -3/4x - 6

• y = 0.75x + 1

• y = -4/3x + 9

• y = -9/12x - 2

Compare the equations f(x) = 12x + 2 and g(x) = 6x – 2. Which best describes the transformation(s) from f(x) to g(x)?

• Vertical shift down 2, less steep slope

• Vertical shift up 4, double the slope

• Vertical shift down 4, half the slope

• Steeper by 2

Equation A:   y = 2x + 3
Equation B:   y = 3x - 3
Which equation has a higher slope? 

• Equation A

• Equation B

• They have the same slope
