Question

.Compare Linear Function 1 with Linear Function 2. Which one has the greater rate of change? Choose 1 for Linear Function 1; choose 2 for Linear Function 2.

Linear Function 1: y=x+8
Linear Function 2:
A coordinate plane shows the x-axis ranging from negative 2 to 6 in increments of 1 and the y-axis ranging from negative 2 to 12 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 2 comma 6 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 4 comma 10 right parenthesis.

Linear Function 1: y=x+8
Linear Function 2:

Answer 1

2

Linear Function 1 slope = 1 (from y = x + 8).
Linear Function 2 slope = (10 − 6)/(4 − 2) = 2.
Since 2 > 1, Linear Function 2 has the greater rate of change.
