Question

write a function that has a greater rate of change than one function but a smaller rate of change than the other function

Answer 1

The function y = 5x has a rate of change that is in between the equation y = 4x and y = 6x.

In an equation, the rate of change is also called the slope. It is the amount that a number is increasing by. We put that value in front of the x in most equations.

In the equal that I gave, the 5 is in between the rates of 4 and 6.
