Given the function g(x) = 4x - 5, compare and contrast g(2) and g(-4). Choose the statement that is true concerning these two values.

The value of g(2) is larger than the value of g(-4).

The value of g(2) is smaller than the value of g(-4).

The value of g(2) is the same as the value of g(-4).

The values of g(2) and g(-4) cannot be compared.

A positive # will always be larger than a negative.
They can't be the same, as I just stated above.
If you were to plug in your g(x) values you'd get g(2)= 8x-5 and g(-4) = -16x - 5
