Linear Function 1:
A coordinate plane shows the x-axis ranging from negative 1 to 4 in increments of 1 and the y-axis ranging from negative 1 to 13 in increments of 1. A line with arrows at both ends joins two plotted points. The coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 1 comma 9 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 2 comma 12 right parenthesis.

Linear Function 2:

To compare the rates of change for Linear Function 1 and Linear Function 2, we will calculate the rate of change (slope) for each function.

**For Linear Function 1:**
- The two points provided are (1, 9) and (2, 12).
- The formula for the rate of change (slope) between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is:
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]
- Applying the values:
\[
\text{slope for Linear Function 1} = \frac{12 - 9}{2 - 1} = \frac{3}{1} = 3
\]

**For Linear Function 2:**
- The two points provided are (0, 2) and (5, 42).
- Using the same slope formula:
\[
\text{slope for Linear Function 2} = \frac{42 - 2}{5 - 0} = \frac{40}{5} = 8
\]

**Comparison:**
- Linear Function 1 has a rate of change of 3.
- Linear Function 2 has a rate of change of 8.

Thus, Linear Function 2 has the greater rate of change.

The correct response is:
"Linear Function 2 has the greater rate of change, with a rate of change equal to 8 while Linear Function 1 has a rate of change equal to 3."
