In 2010, the number of participants in a checkers tournament was 2.6 × 104 people. In 2013, the number of participants in a checkers tournament was 5.2 × 106 people. By what factor did the number of participants increase from 2010 to 2013? A
7.8 × 1013

B
2 × 1013

C
7.8 × 102

D
2 × 102

Lets substarct

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6
