Answer:

The rate of change of f(x) is faster than the rate of change of g(x).

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Explanation:

*Note:

Rate of Change is determined by slope.

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 3x + 5

↓ Compare to y = mx + b

Slope m = 3

g(x) = 2x + 5

↓ Compare to y = mx + b

Slope m = 2

Step 2: Answer

We can see that the slope of f(x) is greater than g(x).

∴ the rate of change of f(x) would be greater than g(x).
