Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of Function 2 (m=1.1) is greater than the slope of Function 1 (m=1).  

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that p is essentially the y and that r is the x. Thus, to make this easier to see, convert p to y and r to x. Thus:

$y=x+7$

From the above equation, we can determine that the slope is 1. Thus, the slope of Function 1 is 1.

To find the slope of the table, simply use the slope formula. Use any two points. I'm going to use the points (0,8) and (10,19). Let (0,8) be x₁ and y₁, and (10,19) be x₂ and y₂. Therefore:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{19-8}{10-0}=11/10=1.1$

Thus, the slope of Function 2 is 1.1.

1.1 is greater than 1.

Thus, the slope of Function 2 is greater than the slope of Function 1.
