Explanation of Solution
Given:
Four choices:
Concept used:
We know that slope-intercept form of an equation is
Calculation:
Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that all equations are in slope-intercept form. The equation will have the greatest slope, in which the value of m is greatest.
Upon checking our given choices, we can see that the value of m is greatest for the equation given in option D, therefore, the equation
