Answer:
(B) Function 2
Explanation:
We can compute the slope of Function 2 using the slope formula.
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . where x and y are the independent and dependent variables.
m = (0.2 -0.8)/(3 -2) = -0.6
The slope of Function 1 is about ...
-3/7 ≈ -0.43
The slope of Function 2 is more negative.
__
On a graph, the line representing function 2 has a steeper downward slope.
