Question

Find the function that has the greater rate of change

As x increases by 1, y increases by 3.

The graph-
x: -1 | 0 | 1
y: 0 | 2 | 4

A. the slopes are equal
B. the graph has a greater slope
C. the function rule has a greater slope****
D. none of the above

Answer 1

Only the graph of a function has a slope. This and similar questions are <u>extremely</u> poorly worded.

y has a greater rate of change. There is only one slope: that of the function. Its slope is 3.

Only the function has a slope. x and y do not have slopes. They just have rates of change. The slope tells you which variable changes faster.

This question is posed in pseudo-mathematical gibberish. It should be more like

Find the variable that has the greater rate of change

As x increases by 1, y increases by 3.

The graph-
x: -1 | 0 | 1
y: 0 | 2 | 4

A. the rates are equal
B. x has a greater rate of change
C. y has a greater rate of change
D. none of the above

Since C is correct, the slope is greater than 1.

Answer 2

1- the rates of change are equal
2- the slopes are equal
3- the function rule has greater slope
4- a parabola
5- graph b
6- -3,-2,1,6
these are 100% correct all the ones above here are the question answers for lesson 11 Comparing Function Unit 5: Functions
