Question

Which function has the greater rate of change?

Function 1:
y = 5/6x + 10

Function 1

Function 2

Answer 1

Function 1

Explanation:

Function 1:

`y=(5)/(6)x+10`

The rate of change of the function 1 is:

`(5)/(6)\approx 0.83`

Function 2:

The rate of change of the function 2 is:

`(15.75-14.25)/(1-(1))=(1.5)/(2)=0.75`

Hence, the greater rate of change has function 1.
