Asked by William L

Graph both equations and conpare the rate of change in both graphs.

1: y = 2x + 1
2: y = 1/4x - 2

I've already graphed them correctly, but comparing the rate of change confuses me. ( Doing summer HM ) I did 2 x 1/4 and got 8. Is this correct?
Answered by Reiny
rates of change is the slope of the line
the slope of the first line is 2
the slope of the second line is 1/4
The larger the slope, the greater the rate of change, so what do you think?
