To check our work:


 CHECK!

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

answer: the function g(x) has the greatest slope.

The correct answer is -3.9> -4.5 gucci playa
