Use the four functions below (PICTURE INCLUDED) to compare and contrast these four functions using complete sentences. Focus on the slope and y-intercept first, and then on any additional properties of each function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)=4x-3 j(x)=4x+3 h(x)=-4x+3 I believe g(x) might be -4x-3, as it appears they are varying the +/- symbols in each of them......I will check the g(x) in a second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the comare part is all of them have the slope of 4 or negative 4, and the y int is 3 or -3 but what is the difference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I believe I am correct on the g(x) so the slope is negative whenever it has -4x in the front, and the y intercept is negative whenever you have -3.......they are all linear, f(x) has positive interval from 3/4->infinity, and neg interval from neg infinity to 3/4, increasing interval from neg infinity to infinity j(x) can never go below 0, as you cannot have negative hats, so it is positive y int pos slope and it has pos interval from 0->infinity, and interval of increase from 0->infinity h(x) interval of decrease from neg infinity to pos infinity, always interval of decrease g(x) interval of decrease from neg infinity to pos infinity, always interval of decrease

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so positive 4x means positive slope and positive 3 means positive y intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the only difference is that the slopes and y intercepts have different signs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically.

Gotta run now, good luck :)
