Question

Please help me answer this question. Explain if possible.

Answer 1

It's possibly "The functions have the same rate of change."

Explanation: Alright let's do answer of elimination. It cannot be "Both functions are the same" Due to the fact that for one person in Tour 1 is 45 dollars while for Tour 2 is 50. It cannot be "The functions have the same initial value. Since for initial value it's kind of like a constant. For example for 1 person it would be 20 dollars for 2 it would be 40 and so on. It cannot be the last one since rate of change is obviously different. I don't think I have to go into that.

Answer 2

The functions have the same initial value is correct

"The functions have the same rate of change" is wrong because as we can see, the table goes up by 10, however, the graph goes up by 15

"Both functions are the same" is also wrong, we already proved they have a different slope, how could they possibly be the same?

"The rate of change for Tour 1 is greater" is also wrong because tour 2 goes by 15, which is greater than 10.

"The functions have the same initial value is correct because as we can see on the graph(tour 2), the y-intercept is 35, using the slope on the tab;e(tour 1) we can calculate that when x is 0, the y-value is 35, which means both of the tours has a y-intercept of 35, therefore, this is the correct choice
