Question

Please answer ASAP! Which proportional relationship has the greatest rate of change?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (1)  ;   y = 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) reads y = 7x, a line with slope 7, therefore the rate of change in this is 7

(2) says that y increases 12 units every time that x increases 4 Then the rate of change is: (increase in y / increase in x = 12/4 =3

(3) shows a table from which we can see that an increase of y in 8 corresponds to an increase of x in 2:  rate of change = (8 - 0) , (2 - 0) = 4

(4) shos a line with slope (rate of change) given by:  (12 - 0) / (2 - 0) = 12/2 = 6

Therefore, the greatest rate of change is shown by the first expression  

y = 7 x
