50 points!!!!! Please!!!!! Sandra and Jenny spend a certain amount of money from their money box each month to buy plants. The t
able (function 1) shows the relationship between the amount of money (y) remaining in Sandra’s money box and the number of months (x): Number of Months Amount Remaining (in $)
(x) (y)
1 50
2 45
3 40
4 35
The equation (function 2) shows the relationship between the amount of money, y, remaining in Jenny’s money box and the number of months, x:
Function 2
y = −6x + 50
Which statement explains which function shows a greater rate of change?
Function 2 shows a greater rate of change because Jenny spends $6 each month and Sandra spends $5 each month.
Function 2 shows a greater rate of change because Jenny spends $50 each month and Sandra spends $15 each month.
Function 1 shows a greater rate of change because Sandra spends $15 each month and Jenny spends $44 each month.
Function 1 shows a greater rate of change because Sandra spends $5 each month and Jenny spends −$6 each month.
A) Function 2 shows a greater rate of change because Jenny spends $6 each month and Sandra spends $5 each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept for Sandra is 55 and the slope is -5. While Jenny's y-intercept is 50 and slope is -6.
6 is a greater number therefore causing Jenny's slope to decrease faster causing her to have less money at a much faster rate. (rate of change=slope) Jeny's slope is decreasing at a faster rate of change because she is spending more money everyday than Sandra is.
