The image shows two tables of data, with the corresponding linear functions and their rates of change and y-intercepts.

Table 1

| X | Y |

| 0 | -1 |

| 1 | 4 |

| 2 | 9 |

| 3 | 14 |

| 4 | 19 |

Linear function: y = 5x - 1

Rate of change: 5

Y-intercept: -1

Table 2

| X | Y |

| 0 | 4 |

| 1 | 1.5 |

| 2 | -1 |

| 3 | -3.5 |

| 4 | -6 |

Linear function: y = -2.5x + 4

Rate of change: -2.5

Y-intercept: 4

To graph the linear functions, we can use the slope-intercept form of the equation: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

To find the slope, we can use the following formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

For example, to find the slope of the line in Table 1, we can use the following points:

(0, -1) and (1, 9)

slope = (9 - -1) / (1 - 0) = 10

Therefore, the slope of the line in Table 1 is 10.

To find the y-intercept, we can substitute any point from the table into the equation. For example, we can use the point (0, -1):

y = mx + b

-1 = 23 * 0 + b

b = -1

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line in Table 1 is -1.

We can follow the same steps to find the slope and y-intercept of the line in Table 2. The slope of the line in Table 2 is -2.5 and the y-intercept is 4.
