The description below represents Function A and the table represents Function B. Function A The function is 2 more than 5 times x. Function B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x= -1,0,1 y= 2,5,8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which statement is correct about the slope and intercept of the two functions? Their slopes are equal but y intercepts are not equal. Their slopes are not equal but y intercepts are equal. Both slopes and y intercepts are equal. Neither slopes nor y intercepts are equal.

@ganeshie8 , can you help? You don't have to. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think the y intercepts are equal. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I don't know about slope

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats a good start ! yes y intercepts are not equal

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so u can eliminate B and C options ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, haha, thank you! I don't know what they are asking about slope tho. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right the equation for Function A...F(x) = 2 + 5x what is the slope? Using two points from Function B data - determine the slope change y divided by change x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the equation, the slope is 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct...what is the slope of Function B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct...so that helps you identify that the slopes are NOT equal also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks soo much!!!! :) I appreciate it!! :D <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are welcome
