Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Function 1 has the more negative slope at -2 1/3

Explanation:

The slope of Function 1 is -(7/3).

We can calculate the slope of Function 2 by taking any two points and calculating a "Rise/Run," or the change in y per a change in x. I'll pick points (0,-2) and (11,-24):

Rise = (-24 - (-2) = -22

Run = (11 - 0) = 11

Rise/Run, or slope = -22/11 or -2

Function 1 has the more negative slope at -2 1/3.
