compare linear function 1 with linear function 2 which one has the greater rate of change is 1 for linear function 1 and 2 for linear function to linear function 1 y equals x + 8 linear function to has a graph that shows x has 2 and 4 y has 10 and 6

Linear function 1 has a rate of change of 1, as the coefficient of x is 1.

Linear function 2 has a rate of change of -2, as the change in y (from 10 to 6) is -4, and the change in x (from 2 to 4) is +2, leading to a rate of change of -4/2 = -2.

Therefore, linear function 1 has a greater rate of change compared to linear function 2.
