PART A:
Finding the slope of the function f(x)
Choose any two pairs of coordinate from the table; (-1, -15) and (0, -10)
Let (-1, -15) be (x₁, y₁) and (0, -10) be (x₂, y₂)
Slope =
Slope of f(x) = 5
The function g(x) is given in the straight line equation form
Where, is the slope and is the y-intercept
Slope of g(x) = 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g(x) = 2x + 8
Where, the slope (m) = 2 and the y-intercept (c) = 8
The y-intercept of g(x) is 8
for f(x), we can read the y-intercept when x = 0.
From the table, when x = 0, y = -10
The y-intercept of f(x) is -10
Function g(x) has higher y-intercept
11,990
9% of 5500 is 495
(495+5500) [one year] x 2 [two years] = $11,990
At the end of 2 years, Aldo will owe $11,990.
