Answer:

d) the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

Explanation:

to find the slope of an equation, you look at its rise/run. for f(x), you can see that from one point (0, 3) to another (1, 1) it goes down 2 values (3 - 1) and over 1 value (0 + 1). because it goes down 2 values, the rise is -2, and because it moves to the side 1 value positively, the run is +1.

-2/+1 = -2. this means the slope of f(x) = -2.

finally, it says the slope of g(x) = -6, and -2 > -6. i hope this helps! :)
