Question

Compare linear function one with linear function two which one has the greater rate of change. Choose one for linear function one choose two for linear function 1: y=x+8
Linear function 2:
X Y
2 6
4 10

Answer 1

Linear function 1 has a rate of change of 1, as the coefficient of x is 1. Linear function 2 also has a rate of change of 1, as the difference in y-values between two consecutive points is the same (10 - 6 = 4). Therefore, both linear functions have the same rate of change.
