Question

Which state comparing the function is true

Answer 1

Answer: The first statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation: The slope of function Z is -0.04 or - 1/25 The slope of function W is -0.0625 or -1/16.

Tricky! The absolute values of W are larger, but that makes the slope more negative.

Answer 2

the slope of W is less than the slope of Z

Explanation:

Function Z

find slope take two points (0,15.8) (1,15.76)

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=(15.76-15.8)/1-0

m=-0.04

the equation for function z : y=-0.04x+15.8

slope of W=-0.0625 which is less than -0.04

y intercept pf W=30, is greater than the y intercept of Z=15.8
