Question

Compare the two linear functions. A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 3, negative 1, 2, 5, 10. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 8.5, 5.5, 1, negative 3.5, negative 11. On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 3, 0) and (2, 0). Identify the slope of the line given in the table: Identify the slope of the line given in the graph: Which linear function has a negative slope? Which linear function has the steeper slope?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the table :

(-3,8.5) .....x1 = -3 and y1 = 8.5

(-1,5.5) ....x2 = -1 and y2 = 5.5

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (5.5 - 8.5) / (-1 - (-3) = - 3 / (-1 + 3) = -3/2

coordinate plane :

(-3,0), (2,0)

notice how u have the same y values of 0....this means u have a horizontal line where no matter what x is, y will always be 0. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. And ur y intercept is (0,0)

the linear function that is in the table contains a negative slope and also has a steeper slope then the one on the coordinate plane <===

Answer 2

Answer:  

A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 3, negative 1, 2, 5, 10. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 8.5, 5.5, 1, negative 3.5, negative 11. On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 3, 0) and (2, 0).
