solve each:

f(x)= 2x - 3 g(x)= -4x -1

Which function has a steeper slope?

1 answer

To determine which function has a steeper slope, we can compare the coefficients of x in both functions.

For f(x) = 2x - 3, the coefficient of x is 2.
For g(x) = -4x - 1, the coefficient of x is -4.

Since -4 is a larger magnitude than 2, we can conclude that g(x) = -4x - 1 has a steeper slope.
