Answer:
(a) A is steeper; 4/5 > 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of A is the coefficient of x, so is 4/5. This eliminates choices B and D.
The line in the graph has a rise of 2 units for each run of 5 units, so has a slope of ...
slope = rise/run = 2/5
This eliminates choice C.
The correct description of the relationship is the first one:
Equation A has a steeper slope, because 4/5 is greater than 2/5.
