Question

The table represents the linear function f(x), and the equation represents the linear function g(x).

Compare the y-intercepts and slopes of the linear functions f(x) and g(x) and choose the answer that best describes them.



x f(x)
0 1
2 9
4 17


g(x) = 3x + 1

a
The slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).

b
The slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is greater than the y-intercept of g(x).

c
The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).

d
The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is greater than the y-intercept of g(x).

Answer 1

The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).

Explanation:

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

equation for f(x) is 4x+1

so the slope is 4 and y intercept is 1

g(x)= 3x+1

so the slope is 3 and the y intercept is 1

the correct answer is C - The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).
