Question 13 of 25 • Transition Mathematics for Seniors
Consider the linear function that is represented by the equation y is equal to negative 10 x plus 6 and the linear function that is represented by the equation y minus 36 is equal to 8 times open paren x minus 4 close paren Which statement is correct regarding their slopes and y -intercepts?
Answer
A
The function that is represented by the equation y is equal to negative 10 x plus 6 has a steeper slope, and the function that is represented by the equation y minus 36 is equal to 8 times open paren x minus 4 close paren has a greater y -intercept.
B
The function that is represented by the equation y minus 36 is equal to 8 times open paren x minus 4 close paren has a steeper slope and a greater y -intercept.
C
The function that is represented by the equation y minus 36 is equal to 8 times open paren x minus 4 close paren has a steeper slope, and the function that is represented by the equation y is equal to negative 10 x plus 6 has a greater y -intercept.
D
The function that is represented by the equation y is equal to negative 10 x plus 6 has a steeper slope and a greater y -intercept.
