Question

Function A and Function B are linear functions.
Function A: y = 4x – 1
Function B: (-4, -19), (-3, -14), (-2, -9)
Which statement is true?
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.

Answer 1

Function A has slope 4.
Function B has slope (Δy/Δx) = 5 (e.g., -14 - (-19) = 5 over -3 - (-4) = 1).
Since 4 < 5, statement B is true.
