Question

Which function below has the largest slope?

f(x)

x f(x)
2 4
4 12
6 20

g(x)

g(x)=10x - 4

h(x)

Lance gains 1 level each time he plays his favorite video game. He started at level 10.


f(x)

g(x)

h(x)

The functions all have the same slope

Answer 1

For f(x)
slope = change in y / change in x
slope = (20 - 12) / (6 - 4)
slope = 4

For g(x)
slope = 10

For h(x)
slope = 1

g(x) has the greatest slope.
