Answer:
Option (1) ; y = 7x
Explanation:
(1) reads y = 7x, a line with slope 7, therefore the rate of change in this is 7
(2) says that y increases 12 units every time that x increases 4 Then the rate of change is: (increase in y / increase in x = 12/4 =3
(3) shows a table from which we can see that an increase of y in 8 corresponds to an increase of x in 2: rate of change = (8 - 0) , (2 - 0) = 4
(4) shos a line with slope (rate of change) given by: (12 - 0) / (2 - 0) = 12/2 = 6
Therefore, the greatest rate of change is shown by the first expression
y = 7 x
