Question

Compare these two functions. Which
has the greater rate of change?
y= -6x + 7

Answer 1

y = -6x + 7 has greater rate of change

Explanation:

for the first one, the rate of change is -6x and for the second one, the rate of change is -5x so the rate of change for y = -6x + 7 is greater.

Use the formula y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 to find the slop for the second equation. the second equation is y = -5x
