Anders Celsius (Swedish pronunciation: [ˌanːdəʂ ˈsɛlːsiɵs], 27 November 1701 – 25 April 1744) was a Swedish astronomer, physicist and mathematician. He was professor of astronomy at Uppsala University from 1730 to 1744, but traveled from 1732 to 1735 visiting notable observatories in Germany, Italy and France. He founded the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory in 1741, and in 1742 proposed (an inverted form of) the Centigrade temperature scale which was later renamed Celsius in his honor.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young Italian star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays.

Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes?

<h3>Answer: B) the function g(x) has a larger slope</h3>

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

Explanation:

The slope of f(x) is 4, since the equation y = 4x+2 has slope m = 4. Compare this to y = mx+b.

The slope of g(x) is 5. Note how if we started at (0,-2) on the red line and moved up 5 and to the right 1, we arrive at (1,3) which is another point on the red line. You could use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

to get the same result.

Since the slope of f(x) is 4 and the slope of g(x) is 5, we see that g(x) has a larger slope. The g(x) line is steeper compared to f(x).
