Step-by-step explanation:

Marty’s with a slope of 1/3 has the larger slope

Answer 2

Question:

Marty and Ethan both wrote a function, but in different ways.

Marty

y+3=1/3(x+9)

Ethan

x y

-4 9.2

-2 9.6

0 10

2 10.4

Whose function has the larger slope?

1. Marty’s with a slope of 2/3

2. Ethan’s with a slope of 2/5

3. Marty’s with a slope of 1/3

4. Ethan’s with a slope of 1/5

Answer:

Marty’s with a slope of 1/3 has the larger slope

Solution:

Given that Marty equation is:

$y + 3 = \frac{1}{3}(x+9)$

The point slope form is given as:

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

Where, "m" is the slope of line

On comapring both equations,

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

Ethan wrote a function:

Consider any two values from the table we have;

(0, 10) and (2, 10.4)

The slope is given by formula:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From above two points,

$(x_1, y_1) = (0, 10)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (2, 10.4)$

Therefore,

$m = \frac{10.4-10}{2-0}\\\\m = \frac{0.4}{2} \\\\m = 0.2$

Thus we get,

$\text{Slope of Ethan} < \text{Slope of Marty}$

Therefore, Marty’s with a slope of 1/3  has the larger slope
