Question

Comparing Two Linear Functions (Context - Graphically)

Answer 1

start identifying the slope and y-intercept for each high school.

The slope represents the growth for each year, in this case for high school A is 25 and for high school B is 50.

The y-intercept is the number of students that are enrolled currently, in this case for A is 400 and for B is 250.

The complete equations in the slope-intercept form are

`\begin{gathered} A=25x+400 \\ B=50x+250 \end{gathered}`

Continue to graph the equations

High school B is projected to have more students in 8 years.
