Question

Compare Linear Function 1 with Linear Function 2. Which one has the lesser rate of change? Choose 1 for Linear Function 1; choose 2 for Linear Function 2.
Linear Function 1: y=7x+4
Linear Function 2:

Answer 1

2

Linear Function 1 has slope 7. For Linear Function 2, slope = (73 − 61)/(12 − 10) = 12/2 = 6. Since 6 < 7, Linear Function 2 has the lesser rate of change.
