Compare Linear Function 1 with Linear Function 2. Which one has the lesser rate of change? Choose 1 for Linear Function 1; choose 2 for Linear Function 2.
Linear Function 1: y=7x+4
Linear Function 2:
x

12 73
(1 point)
Linear Function
has the lesser rate of change.

Linear Function 2:

10 61
12 73
(1 point)
Linear Function
has the lesser rate of change.
To determine which linear function has the lesser rate of change, we look at the slope of each function.
Linear Function 1: \(y = 7x + 4\)
- The rate of change (slope) is \(7\).
Linear Function 2: To find the slope, we can use the two points provided:
- The points are (10, 61) and (12, 73).
- The slope (rate of change) can be calculated as:
\[ \text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{73 - 61}{12 - 10} = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \]
Now we compare the slopes:
- Linear Function 1: slope = 7
- Linear Function 2: slope = 6
Since \(6 < 7\), Linear Function 2 has the lesser rate of change.
Therefore, the answer is:
Linear Function 2 has the lesser rate of change.
Compare Linear Function 1 with Linear Function 2. Which one has the greater initial value? Choose 1 for Linear Function 1; choose 2 for Linear Function 2.
Linear Function 1: Taesha starts the year with $50 saved and then saves an additional $25 a week.
Linear Function 2: The relationship between the number of weeks Joshua has been saving (x)
and his total savings (y)
is given by y=37x+40
(1 point)
Linear Function
has the greater initial value.

(1 point)
Linear Function
has the greater initial value.
To determine which linear function has the greater initial value, we need to examine both functions.
Linear Function 1: Taesha starts with $50 and saves an additional $25 a week.
- The initial value here is the amount she starts with, which is $50.
Linear Function 2: The equation for Joshua's savings is given by \(y = 37x + 40\).
- The initial value in this case is the y-intercept of the equation, which is $40 (when \(x = 0\)).
Now we can compare the initial values:
- Linear Function 1: Initial value = $50
- Linear Function 2: Initial value = $40
Since \(50 > 40\), we conclude that:
Linear Function 1 has the greater initial value.
