Question

Which linear function has a negative slope, f(x) or g(x) ? f(x)=6−7x x -2 -1 0 1 2 g(x) 12.5 10 7.5 5 2.5 (1 point) Responses f(x) f(x) g(x) g(x) Both functions have a negative slope. Both functions have a negative slope. Neither function has a negative slope. Neither function has a negative slope.

Answer 1

f(x) has a negative slope because as x increases, the function value decreases. In other words, as x goes from 0 to 2, f(x) goes from 6 to -8, indicating a negative slope. On the other hand, g(x) has a positive slope because as x increases, the function value also increases. Therefore, the correct answer is: f(x)
