Answer:
a. Slope of f(x) is greater than g(x)
b. y-intercept of f(x) is less than the y-intercept of g
Step-by-step explanation:
Function f(x)
Given the function f(x)
x f(x)
-3 -0.5
-2 0
-1 0.5
0 1
Finding the slope between any two points
Thus,
The slope of f(x) = 0.5
We know that the value of the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.
From the given point (0, 1), we can easily observe that at x = 0, the value of y = 1.
Thus, the y-intercept of f(x) = 1
Function g(x)
Taking two points from the given graph of g(x)
- (1, 0)
- (0, 2)
Finding the slope between (1, 0) and (0, 2)
Refine
Thus,
The slope of g(x) = -2
We know that the value of the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.
From the given point (0, 2), we can easily observe that at x = 0, the value of y = 2.
Thus, the y-intercept of g(x) = 2
Conclusion:
<u>FOR function f(x)</u>
The slope of f(x) = 0.5
The y-intercept of f(x) = 1
<u>FOR function gx)</u>
The slope of g(x) = -2
The y-intercept of g(x) = 2
Thus:
a. Slope of f(x) is greater than g(x)
b. y-intercept of f(x) is less than the y-intercept of g
