Owen and Rose each thought of a linear. Owen's function is y=3/4x+1, and Rose's function is y=3/4x+3

A. Owen’s function has both a greater slope and a greater y-intercept.

B. Rose’s function has both a greater slope and a greater y-intercept.

C. Rose’s function has a greater slope, and Owen’s function has a greater y-intercept.

D. Owen’s function has a greater slope, and Rose’s function has a greater y-intercept.

1 answer

The slope of a linear function is the coefficient of x in the equation. In this case, both Owen's and Rose's functions have a slope of 3/4.

The y-intercept of a linear function is the value of y when x=0. In Owen's function, when x=0, y=1. In Rose's function, when x=0, y=3. Therefore, Rose's function has a greater y-intercept.

Answer: C. Rose’s function has a greater slope, and Owen’s function has a greater y-intercept.
