Answer:

slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that for a linear equation in the form:

y = mx + b,

m = slope of line and b is the y-intercept.

In our case, we are given

y = 4x

If we compare this with the general equation above,

we can see that m = 6 and b = 0

hence slope = m = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = (2x - 4) - ( {x}^{2} + 3) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2x - 4 - {x}^{2} - 3 \\ \red{ \boxed{\therefore (f - g)(x) = - {x}^{2} + 2x - 7}}$
