A. -2
B. 1/2
C. Function A: -2
Function B: 0.5
D. The slope of Function A is bigger than the slope of Function B.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. To find the slope we will take two points from the graph (In this example I'll use (0, 5) and (1, 3)) and put them into the expression 
:
Solve:
3 - 5 = -2
1 - 0 = 1
Now the expression is -2/1, or just -2.
The slope of function A is -2.
B. This equation is written in y=mx + b form, where m is the slope. 1/2 is in the place of m, which tells us that the slope of function B is 1/2.
C. function A is a whole number, so we just write it in as -2.
function B's slope is 1/2. Divide 1 by 2 and you get 0.5.
D. Although function A is negative, the slope of function A is steeper than the slope of Function B, making it bigger.
