Let:
[tex]m1=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{-4-2}{4-(-4)}=-\frac{6}{8}=-\frac{3}{4}[/tex][tex]m2=\frac{-1-1}{5-0}=-\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
the linear function goes through the points (-4,2) and (4,-4) has a slope of -3/4
and the linear function shown on the graph has a slope of -2/5
the linear function that goes through the points (-4,2) and (4,-4) has the larger slope
