SOLUTION: The question is which line is steeper, Line 1: y=3/5x-2 or Line 2: y=2/3x=3?
This is my attempt at the problem.
Line 1: y=3/5x-2
-3/5x -3/5x
y-3/5x=2

Line 1: y=3/5x-2
-3/5x -3/5x
y-3/5x=2
Thats as far as I got and I know its wrong. We just learned how to find which line is steeper but we've done it with whole numbers not fractions. Ex: Line 1: (2,3) and (4,7) or Line 2 (-1,2) and (4,5). I am so lost so if you could explain this to me that would be great. Thank you! :)

The question is which line is steeper,
Line 1: y=(3/5)x-2 or Line 2: y=(2/3)x=3 ?
------
The slope of the 1st line is 3/5.
---
The slope of the 2nd line is 2/3
---
Convert both fractions to a common denominator:
3/5 = 9/15
---
2/3 = 10/15
---
So, 2/3 is the steeper slope.
So, Line 2 is the steeper line.
