Question

Given the function f(x) = 4x + 10 and g(x), which function has a greater slope? x g(x) 2 5 4 7 6 9

Answer 1

Answer:

Function f(x) has slope 4, which is greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time please present your data in tabular form:

x g(x)

2   5

4   7

6  9

From this table it is immediately evident that if x increases by 2, y increases by 2 also.  Thus, the slope of the line is m = rise / run = 2 / 2 = 1, for function g(x).  Function f(x) has slope 4, which is greater.
