Compare Linear Function 1 with Linear Function 2. Which one has the lesser rate of change? Choose 1 for Linear Function 1; choose 2 for Linear Function 2.

Question

Linear Function 1: y=7x+4
Linear Function 2:
x y
10 61
12 73(1 point)
Linear Function
has the lesser rate of change.

Answer 1

The rate of change of a linear function is equal to its slope.

For Linear Function 1, the slope is 7.

For Linear Function 2, we can find the slope by calculating the change in y divided by the change in x:
slope = (73-61)/(12-10) = 12/2 = 6

Therefore, Linear Function 2 has the lesser rate of change with a slope of 6, compared to the slope of 7 for Linear Function 1.
