1. Function Q and function R are both linear functions. Function Q has an x-intercept at (4,0), and the slope is 1/4. Function R is represented by the table.

Question

x y
-4 14
3 0
5 -4
Which statement is true?

A. Function Q has a larger y-intercept and a less steep slope than function R
B. Function Q has a larger y-intercept and a steeper slope than function R
C. Function Q has a smaller y-intercept and a less steep slope than function R
D. Function Q has a smaller y-intercept and a steeper slope than function R

Answer 1

BTW, I really need help! This is for a really important benchmark, and it's a little overdue.

Answer 2

If it's that important, you'd better figure out how to do it yourself.

Answer 3

So you are going to make me even more late by not helping, what you are here for?

Answer 4

I do not know how to help you. A math tutor should be around in an hour or two.

Answer 5

Ms. Sue, in the future, please don't respond, especially telling me to do it on my own if you don't know. And I don't need a tutor. Especially this late. Thanks, tho.

Answer 6

If you don't need a tutor, why did you post on Jiskha?

Answer 7

Because not everyone on here is a tutor

Answer 8

Look, can someone just answer my question???

Answer 9

Function Q:
(4, 0), m = 1/4.
Y = mx + b.
0 = (1/4)4 + b,
b = -1 = y-int.
Eq: Y = (1/4)x - 1.

Function R:
(x, y): (-4, 14), (3, 0), (5, -4).
m = (0-14)/(3-(-4)) = -14/7 = --2.
Y = mx + b,
14 = -2*(-4) + b.
b = 6 = y-int.
Eq: Y = -2x + 6.
