Question 265450: My question is about slope. If you have two lines, is it always true that the line with the largest slope gives the largest output? Does the line with the largest slope ever achieve the largest output? I understand that slope tells how "steep" the line is, but how do you tell which line will have the largest output just by the slope? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

y=x+5
y=10x+5
and the pair
y=x+1
y=100x-2000
plot them
No for either pair!
after they cross the other line has the larger y
