Please helppp......

Consider the two functions. Which statement is true?

A) function one has a greater rate of change by 2

B) function 2 has a greater rate of change by 2

C) function 1 has a greater rate of change by 3/2

D) function 2 has a greater rate of change by 3/2

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph of function 1 is the x-intercept is (-4,0) and the y-intercept is (0,2).

The slope formula is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope of the first function is

$m=\frac{2-0}{0-(-4)}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the slope of function 1 is $\frac{1}{2}$.

From the table the two points are (2,3) and (3,5).

$m=\frac{5-3}{3-2}=\frac{2}{1}=2$

Therefore the slope of function 2 is 2.

The function 2 has a greater rate of change by 2. Option B is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

m =

y2 − y1

x2 − x1

Function 1 has a slope of

1/2

.

x-int = (−4, 0)

y-int = (0, 2)

m =

2 − 0

0 − (−4)

=

$\frac{2}{4\\}$

=

1/2

Function 2 has a slope of 2.

m =

5 − 3

3 − 2
