Question

Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes? f(x)= 4x + 2 The function g of x going through 0, negative 2 and 1, 3 (1 point) The function f(x) has a larger slope. The function g(x) has a larger slope. They both have the same slope. The relationship between slopes cannot be determined.

Answer 1

g(x) has the larger slope.

Explanation:

f(x) = 4x + 2

- so its slope = 4. ( from general form y = mx + c where m = slope).

The slope of g(x) = (3 - (-2) / (1 - 0)

= 5.
