Which equation best compares the slopes of the two functions?
Slope of Function B = 2 × Slope of Function A.
Slope of Function A = Slope of Function B
Slope of Function A = 2 × Slope of Function B
Slope of Function B = - Slope of Function A
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Okay, find the slope of function B first
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Slope is rise over run, or y-difference divided by x-difference
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Use any two points on the line to find the slope

ok so...
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
how if there re no points
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
You create two points on the line
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
(0,-1) and (1,1) are good points
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
ok so -1 - 1 = m(0 - 1)

-2 = m(-1)
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
-2 = -m
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
And m=?
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
2?
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Yep

Find the slope of function A?
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
-7?
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Why?
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
no i meant -9
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
or wait -5

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Why and why?
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
well bec -2 - 9
OpenStudy (henrietepurina):
equals... ohhhh, 7?
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Why -2-9?
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Remember that in the form y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the intercept
