Question

PLEASE HELP ME!! i really need help asap!

part A: write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x)
Part B: which function has a greater y-intercept? JUSTIFY UR ANSWER.

PLEASE HELP ME!! ;(

Answer 1

g(x) has the greater slope.

Explanation:

The second function, g(x), has a slope of 7. This function has a straight line graph.

Knowing that the other function, f(x), is also a linear function, we can find the slope as follows:

As we move from (-1, -3) to (0, 0), x increases by 1 and y increases by 3. Thus, the slope is m = rise / run = 3 / 1 = 3.

Obviously the slope of g(x) (m = 7) is greater than the slope of f(x) (m = 3).
