Question

Given the function f(x) =2x-5 and g(x) which function has a greater slope

Answer 1

Answer:

B. g(x) has a greater slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) =2x-5 and g(x), g(x) has a greater slope.

f(x) = 2

g(x) = 2.5

Answer 2

Answer:

B. g(x) has a greater slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

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

=========================================

$f(x)=2x-5\to m=2$

From the table of function g(x) we have:

x = 2 → y = 0

x = 4 → y = 5

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{5-0}{4-2}=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5$

The slope of f(x) is equal to 2.

The slope of g(x) is equal to 2.5.

2 < 2.5
