To determine which line has the steeper slope, you would need to observe the angle at which each line rises or falls in relation to the horizontal axis (x-axis).
In general, the slope of a line is calculated as the "rise" over the "run" (change in y over change in x). A line with a larger absolute value of the slope (whether positive or negative) is considered to be steeper.
- If Line A rises faster than Line B, or falls faster than Line B, then Line A has the steeper slope.
- If Line B rises or falls faster than Line A, then Line B has the steeper slope.
- If both lines have the same inclination, then they have the same slope.
Without a visual representation of the graph, it is not possible to accurately determine which line has the steeper slope. Therefore, the response would likely be: "You cannot calculate the slopes of the lines from the graph."
