CPM Homework Help : CAAC Problem 8-120

Line $L$ passes through the points $(−44,42)$ and $(−31,94)$ , while line $M$ has the rule $y=6+3x$ . Which line is steeper? Justify your answer.

Hint:

Since $m$ in $y=mx+b$ is the slope, we know that the slope of line M is $3$ .
Calculate the slope of line L by either using a slope triangle or by finding the change in $y$ and comparing it to the change in $x$ .

Step:

$\frac{42-94}{-44-(-31)}=\textit{m}$
