Question

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.
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

To determine the rate of change of each function, we can compare the slope of each function.

For Linear Function 1: y = 7x + 4, the slope is 7.
For Linear Function 2, we can calculate the slope using the points (10, 61) and (12, 73):
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 Linear Function 1 with a slope of 7. Choose 2 for Linear Function 2.
