The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents function 2:
1 answer:
Answer:
Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the slope or rate of change of the function can be:
- positive
- negative
- zero, or
- undefined
Function 1
From the function 1 graph, it is clear that the graph is a horizontal line. We must note that the horizontal line has a slope or rate of change zero. The reason is that the horizontal line can not rise vertically. i.e. y₂-y₁=0
so using the slope formula
Rate of change = m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
Taking two points (x₁, y₁) = (0, 4), (x₂, x₁) = (1, 4)
Rate of change = m = 4-4 / 1-0
Rate of change = m = 0/1
Rate of change = m = 0
Thus, the rate of change of function 1 is zero.
Function 2
We know the slope-intercept form of linear equation is
where m is the rate of change or slope of the function and b is the y-intercept
Given the function
comparing with the slope-intercept form i.e. y = mx+b
Therefore, the rate of change of function 2 = m = 8
Conclusion
The rate of change of function 1 = 0
The rate of change of function 2 = 8
as
- 8 - 0 = 8
Therefore, function 2 has 8 more rate of change of function than the rate of change of function 1.

When you first look at thius graph, you should notice two things immedietly.
1. This graph will have a positive slope, because the line is going up.
2. the y-intercept is -2 because that's where it is on the y-axis.
Now, you have been given two points, (2, 1) and (0, -2). You can put these two points into the slope formula, which is: m =
= 
= 3/2.
So, now you have your slope and your y-intercept. Now, just put them into y = mx + b form!
y = 3/2x - 2 (it is ubtracting two instead of adding two because it is a negative two.)
Hope this helps!!
