a. function 1b. function 2c. they are the samed. no answer text provided

Answer 1

we get that the function 1 has the rate of change equals to

$\frac{1-2}{4-2}=-\frac{1}{2}$

the second function has the rate of change equals to

$\frac{1-4}{2--2}=-\frac{3}{4}$

as -1/2>-3/4 the function 1 has a greater rate of change
