Question

30 POINTS! PLEASE HURRY!!

The graph represents function 1 and the equation represents function 2:

A graph with numbers 0 to 4 on the x-axis and y-axis at increments of 1. A horizontal straight line is drawn joining the ordered pairs 0, 3 and 4, 3.


Function 2
y = 3x + 1

How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1?

1
2
3
4

Answer 1

3.

Explanation:

Rate of change of function 2 = y2-y1 / x2 - x1

If we use x1 = 0 and y1 = (3(0) + 1 = 1 and x2 = 4 and y2 = 13,

the rate of change = (13-1)/ (4-0) = 12/4 = 3.

The rate of change of function 1 is zero.

So the answer is 3-0 = 3.
