.
Rate of change=R
(Absolute value of slope)
.
A. 14x-2y=8
14x=2y+8
14x-8=2y
7x-4=y
Slope(A)=7
.
B. y=6x-5
Slope(B)=6
.
C.
.
=(,)=(-2,-7)
.
=(,)=(-1,-2)
.
=
Slope(C)=5
.
D. A linear function through (1,3) and (0,-2)
.
=(1,3)
=(0,2)
.
=
Slope(D)=1
.
ANSWER: The equation with greatest rate of change (slope) is (A)
