Can you determine the slope of each function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think the answer is? How do you find the slope for each function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is g(x)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You may be right, but find the slope just to be sure: \[\LARGE \frac{15-14}{4-1}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Correct, so now we know the slope of h(x) What is the slope of f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would i have to do? @Luigi0210

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Well since f(x) is already in slope intercept form: \[\LARGE y=mx+b\] Just find what m is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Luigi0210

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

4?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You sure about that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i add 4+-2= im a bit confused @Luigi0210

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

No, you don't do anything special with this, just find what "m" is: \[\LARGE y=5x+4\] \[\LARGE y=mx+b\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it equals 5 @Luigi0210

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Correct, so far we have: \[h(x)=m=\frac{1}{3}\] and \[f(x)=m=5\] Now we need \[g(x)=m=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12-2? @Luigi0210 i dont know how many cubicles he passed

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

The points are: (0, 1) and (1, 3) Do you see how I got these points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @Luigi0210

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do they all have the same y intercept? @Luigi0210

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Nope, so find the slope of this one: \[\LARGE m=\frac{3-1}{1-0}=\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/1

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Correct, so now we have all 3 slopes, now you decide which one is the smallest c: \[\LARGE f(x)=m=5\] \[\LARGE g(x)=m=2\] \[\LARGE h(x)=m=\frac{1}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h(x)

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yup :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx :)
