Question

Function A and Function B are linear functions.
Function A Function B has a y-intercept of -7
y = 3/4x - 8
Which statements are true? Select all that apply.
A. The slope of Function A is greater than the slope of Function B.
B. The slope of Function A is less than the slope of Function B.
C. The y-intercept of Function A is greater than the y-intercept of Function B.
D. The y-intercept of Function A is less than the y-intercept of Function B.

Answer 1

Only D is true.

Reason: Function A has slope 3/4 and y-intercept −8. Function B’s slope is not given, so you cannot compare slopes (A and B are false). Compare y-intercepts: −8 < −7, so the y-intercept of A is less than that of B (D true).
