#1,
The slope of relationship A is:
[tex]Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{4-2}{8-4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Relationship B has a greater slope than Relationship A.
The answers for #1 are A, B, and C.
#2,
The slope of relationship B is:
[tex]Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{60.80-30.40}{4-2} = \frac{30.40}{2} = 15.20[/tex]
Relationship A has a greater slope than Relationship B
The answers for #2 are C, and D.
#3,
[tex]Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{6-3}{4-2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5[/tex]
Relationship B has a lesser slope than relationship A.
So the slope has to be less than 1.5
Only answer choice A has a slope less than 1.5
