Question

The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents function 2:

Function 2
y = 5x + 4
How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of
function 1? (4 points)

Answer 1

Primarily, horizontal lines mean zero slope. Therefore the equation is y= 3 because you are only left with the y-intercept at this point. The rate of change is another way of saying slope. Function 2's slope is 5 and function 1's slope is 0. Therefore, the rate of change of function 2 is greater than the rate of change of function 1 by 5.

5 is the answer.

hope this helps :)
