Answer
Given: Sorry the images are at the bottom.
To find:
Part A: Write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x).
Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer.
Solution:
On inspection of values of x and f(x) it is clear that f(x) is a linear function
i.e.
1)Slope of f(x) and y-intercept of f(x):
Convert the function in slope intercept form and calculate the slope.
Slope intercept form:
Here,
Slope of f(x)=1,
y-intercept of f(x)=(0,0)
2) Slope and y-intercept of g(x):
Slope of g(x)=7
Y-INTERCEPT of g(x) =(0,2)
Part A:
Slope of f(x) is 1 and slope of g(x) is 7.
Part B:
g(x) has a greater y-intercept.
Hope it helps you.
