Lets compare both equations so we can explain the reason for it, and see it clearly: <span>y1 = 5x + 1 </span><span>y2 = 4x + 2 y1 > y2 </span>5x + 1 > 4x + <span>2 </span>To see why that happens we need to solve for x: 5x - 4x > 2 - 1 x > 1 Therefore, the first equation is greater than the second for values of x > 1
