Let's analyze the two functions based on the provided information.

**Function 1:**
Values:
- x: -1, 0, 1, 2, 4, 5
- y: -1, 3, 7, 11, 19, 23

**Function 2:**
Points:
- (0, 2), (1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 9), (4, 17)

Now, let's answer each question:

1. **Which function has the larger y-intercept?**
- **Function 1:** The y-intercept (when x = 0) is 3.
- **Function 2:** The y-intercept (when x = 0) is 2.
- **Conclusion:** Function 1 has the larger y-intercept.

2. **Which function has a constant rate of change?**
- **Function 1:** The changes in y are not consistent; thus, it does not have a constant rate of change.
- **Function 2:** The differences in y-values for each x value are:
- From (0,2) to (1,3): +1
- From (1,3) to (2,5): +2
- From (2,5) to (3,9): +4
- From (3,9) to (4,17): +8
- The rate of change is not constant as well. (This was tested specifically through the number of increments.)
- **Conclusion:** Neither function has a constant rate of change.

3. **Which function has the greater rate of change in the interval [0,2]?**
- **Function 1:**
- At x = 0, y = 3; at x = 2, y = 11.
- The rate of change = (11 - 3) / (2 - 0) = 8 / 2 = 4.
- **Function 2:**
- At x = 0, y = 2; at x = 2, y = 5.
- The rate of change = (5 - 2) / (2 - 0) = 3 / 2 = 1.5.
- **Conclusion:** Function 1 has the greater rate of change in the interval [0, 2].

4. **Which function has the greater rate of change in the interval [2,4]?**
- **Function 1:**
- At x = 2, y = 11; at x = 4, y = 19.
- The rate of change = (19 - 11) / (4 - 2) = 8 / 2 = 4.
- **Function 2:**
- At x = 2, y = 5; at x = 4, y = 17.
- The rate of change = (17 - 5) / (4 - 2) = 12 / 2 = 6.
- **Conclusion:** Function 2 has the greater rate of change in the interval [2, 4].

### Summary of Responses:
1. **Larger y-intercept:** Function 1
2. **Constant rate of change:** Neither function
3. **Greater rate of change in [0,2]:** Function 1
4. **Greater rate of change in [2,4]:** Function 2
