Compare linear function, one with linear function to which one has the greater rate of change. Choose one for linear function one choose two for linear function two

Question

• Function 1: y = x + 8
• Function 2: (2,6), (4,10)

Linear function ____ Has the greater rate of change?

Answer 1

Function 2 has the greater rate of change.

To determine the rate of change of a linear function, you can look at the slope of the line. In Function 1 (y = x + 8), the slope is 1, which means the rate of change is 1. In Function 2, the points (2,6) and (4,10) can be used to find the slope, which is also 1.

Since both functions have a rate of change of 1, they have the same rate of change.
