Question

The equation represents Function A, and the graph represents Function B:

Function A f(x) = 6x - 1
Function B graph of line going through ordered pairs 1, 4 and negative 1, negative 2 and negative 2, negative 5

Which equation best compares the slopes of the two functions?
(A) Slope of Function B = 2 x Slope of Function A
(B) Slope of Function A = Slope of Function B
(C) Slope of Function A = 2 x Slope of Function B
(D) Slope of Function B = − Slope of Function A

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

i just did the test

Answer 2

C. Slope of Function A = 2 x Slope of Function B

Explanation:

The slope of function A is the x-coefficient: 6.

The slope of function B is ...

... slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (-2-4)/(-1-1) = -6/-2 = 3

6 is 2 times 3
