Answer:
To find the rate of change you use the formula, Y2-Y1/X2-X1.
Function A:
You can substitute in any two points. The points I will use are (0,0) and (1,1).
1-0/1-0
1/1
1
The rate of change for Function A is 1.
Function B:
The points I will use are (2,1) and (4,2).
2-1/4-2
1/2
The rate of change for Function B is 1/2.
Since 1 is larger than 1/2, Function A has a larger rate of change. The value is 1.
Hope this helps! :)
