Final answer:
Based on the information provided, the slope for the function represented in Figure A1 is 3. We can therefore state that "The slope of f(x) is 3". Without additional information about g(x), we cannot determine its slope.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope for both functions based on the given Figure A1, we see that the slope is defined as the rise over the run for a straight line. Since the slope is constant along a straight line, it will have the same value at any two points we choose.
The example provided references a line graph with a y-intercept of 9 and a slope of 3. However, since the student's question references two functions, f(x) and g(x), without including information about g(x), we can only confirm the slope for f(x). Therefore, based on the given information, we can state "The slope of f(x) is 3". As for g(x), we do not have the information required to determine its slope.
Regarding the example, it also illustrates how the m value in an equation of a line (y = mx + b) represents the slope, and the b value represents the y-intercept, or the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
