Answer:

between the two lines the slopes differ

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the first noticeable difference between these two lines are its slope...

so let's solve for the equations for each line!

2. lets say that points (-2, -6) and (0, 2) is line A (the steeper one),

while points (-5, -1) and (4, 2) is line B

3.  to find slope...

[tex]slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}} {x_{2} - x{_1} }[/tex]

now lets use the points for lines A and B!

4.

[/tex]slope (for line A) = \frac{-6 - 2}{-2 - 0}[/tex] [tex]=\frac{-8}{-2} = 4 \\[/tex]

[tex]slope (for line B) = \frac{-1 - 2}{-5 - 4}[/tex] [tex]= \frac{-3}{-9} = 1/3[/tex]

the slope for line A is 4,

the slope for line B is 1/3

now we can prove that the two lines differ by slope!
