f(x) George reads 200 pages in 40 minutes.

x g(x)
4 −8
4 10
4 28

a)The function f(x) has a larger slope.

b)The relationship between slopes cannot be determined.

c)They both have the same slope.

d)The function g(x) has a larger slope.

For sure, you cannot determine the slope of f(x), as you do not even know what number it is asking for.
And you cannot determine the slope of a plot of points.
Therefore, there is no relationship between these slopes as there are no slopes.
