Question

Compare linear function one with linear function two which one has the lesser rate of change. Choose one for linear function one choose two linear function two
Linear function on1: y=7x+4
X Y
10 61
12 73

Answer 1

To determine the rate of change for each of the linear functions, we can calculate the difference in y-values for the two given points while keeping the x-values constant.

For Linear function one (y=7x+4):
Rate of change = (73-61)/(12-10) = 12/2 = 6

For Linear function two, we will need to know the specific equation to accurately calculate the rate of change. Since the second linear function is not provided, we cannot determine the rate of change for this function.

Therefore, Linear function one (y=7x+4) has the lesser rate of change of 6.
