To determine which function has the greater rate of change, we can calculate the slope of the line for each function.
For the first function y = x + 8, the slope is 1 since the coefficient of x is 1.
For the second function with points (2,6) and (4,10), we can calculate the slope using the formula:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (10 - 6) / (4 - 2)
Slope = 4 / 2
Slope = 2
Therefore, the second function with the points (2,6) and (4,10) has a greater rate of change with a slope of 2 compared to the first function with a slope of 1.
which has the greater rate of change?
1. y = x + 8
2. (2,6), (4,10)
