Question

Please Help.A. The function shown on the graph has the same rate of change, but a higher starting point.B. The function shown on the graph has a smaller rate of change and a lower stating point.C. The function shown on the graph has the same rate of change, but a lower starting point.D. The function shown on the graph has a smaller rate of change, but the same stating point.

Answer 1

First, we have to calculate the rate of change with two points. (2,4) and (0,-6)

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-6-4)/(0-2)=(-10)/(-2)=5`

We conclude that the rates of change are the same for both functions.

The function shown has a lower starting point, which is y=-6.

Answer is Option C.
