To find the slope of the linear function, we need to use the slope formula:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
For points (10, 7) and (-7, -10):
Slope = (-10 - 7) / (-7 - 10)
Slope = (-17) / (-17)
Slope = 1
For the linear function y = 4x + 4, the slope is the coefficient of x, which is 4.
So, the slope of the linear function y = 4x + 4 is greater than the slope of the line passing through the points (10, 7) and (-7, -10).
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
For points (10, 7) and (-7, -10):
Slope = (-10 - 7) / (-7 - 10)
Slope = (-17) / (-17)
Slope = 1
For the linear function y = 4x + 4, the slope is the coefficient of x, which is 4.
So, the slope of the linear function y = 4x + 4 is greater than the slope of the line passing through the points (10, 7) and (-7, -10).
