!!!100 POINTS!!

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):


x f(x)
−1 −9
0 −1
1 7
g(x)

g(x) = 3x − 2


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). (6 points)

Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer. (4 points)

Answer 1

a)
f(x) = 8x -1
g(x) = 3x-2
slope of f(x) is 8
slope of g(x) is 3
slope of f(x) is greater than g(x)
b)
y intercept of f(x) is -1
y intercept of g(x) is -2
f(x) has a greater y intercept
