Answer:

A. Function 1

Explanation:

The slope of Function 2 can be found using the slope formula:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-8 -(-2))/(3 -0) = -6/3

__

The slope of function 1 can be found by comparing the equation to the slope-intercept equation for a line:

y = mx + b . . . . . . equation with slope m and y-intercept b

The slope of Function 1 is -7/3.

-7/3 is more negative than -6/3, so Function 1 has the more negative slope.
