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: The graphs coordinates are (4, 10) (2, 6)

1 answer

To compare the rates of change of Linear Function 1 and Linear Function 2, we can calculate the slope of each function.

For Linear Function 1 (y = x + 8), the slope is the coefficient of x, which is 1.

For Linear Function 2, we can calculate the slope using the formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) using the given coordinates (4, 10) and (2, 6).

Slope of Linear Function 2 = (6 - 10) / (2 - 4) = -4 / -2 = 2

Therefore, Linear Function 2 has a greater rate of change compared to Linear Function 1. Choose 2 for Linear Function 2.
